Common auto electrical jobs in Elliott Heads
Elliott Heads sits where the Elliott River meets the Coral Sea, about 15 km from Kepnock. It's surrounded by small crop and cane farms, and the surf beach, caravan park and still water of the river draw visitors all year.
Caravan batteries that don't charge on the way
Lots of caravans arrive at Elliott Heads after a long tow, only to find the van battery flat. Common causes are thin wiring from the car, a missing charge feed in the plug, or a smart alternator that doesn't supply enough voltage. A DC-DC charger fitted with the right size cable usually solves it. Our guide on why a caravan battery isn't charging while towing explains how to check.

Jet ski trailers and the river
The Elliott River and the coast off the surf beach are popular for jet skis and small boats. Small jet ski trailers often have the cheapest lights and wiring, and they don't last long in salt water. Upgrading to submersible LED lights, a sealed plug and a proper earth wire makes them reliable. Check the lights after every launch, as it's easy to drive home with one side not working.

Work lights on farm utes
Farmers around Elliott Heads often start before dawn and finish after dark. Work lights on the ute or tractor need a relay, fuse and switch, and wiring tucked away from heat and moving parts. LED lights are efficient but can still cause trouble if they're wired through a dash switch without a relay. Dust and water can get into cheap lights, so choose sealed units for paddock work.

Sorting fuse faults in the caravan park
When a car's power socket, radio or fridge stops working on holiday, a blown fuse is the most likely cause. Fridges and phone chargers in older sockets can overload them. Check the car's fuse map, find the fuse for that circuit and replace it with one of the same rating. If it blows again, the circuit has a fault. Our guide on how to check and replace a fuse shows how.

Elliott Heads auto electrical questions
How much solar do I need on my caravan?
It depends on what you run, how long you stay and how sunny it is. A fridge, lights and phone charging need less than an air conditioner or microwave, which usually need mains power. Add up your daily use in amp-hours and allow for cloudy days. An auto electrician can help match solar, battery and charger to your setup.
Can I get an auto electrician to come to the caravan park?
Many mobile auto electricians from Bundaberg travel to coastal towns like Elliott Heads. Check with the park office first, as some have rules about work on sites. Give the electrician the site number, a description of the fault and the caravan's make and model. Simple jobs like battery tests or fuse faults can often be done on site.
Local tip for Elliott Heads
If you're towing a caravan to Elliott Heads, check the van battery voltage when you arrive and again the next morning. A healthy battery should be well charged after the drive. If it's low on arrival, the charging from the car isn't working well. Fixing it before the next trip saves warm fridges and flat batteries further down the road.
