Available Services and Repairs for Airstream Motorhomes
Your Airstream motorhome, regardless of its model year or the chassis it’s built upon, requires expert attention to maintain its performance, safety, and reliability for long-distance travel. Brisbon Automotive is fully equipped to provide comprehensive chassis services for the diverse range of platforms Airstream has utilized, including Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Ram ProMaster, Ford E-Series & F-53, and Chevrolet/Workhorse P-Series.
Preventative Maintenance
Adhering to the specific maintenance schedule recommended by the chassis manufacturer (Ford, Mercedes, Ram, Chevy) is crucial for your RV’s engine and drivetrain. Our preventative maintenance includes manufacturer-specific oil and filter changes (using the correct oil for gasoline or diesel engines), fuel filter replacement, air filter replacement, fluid checks (coolant, brake, transmission, power steering, differential), and chassis lubrication.
Brake System Repairs
The significant weight of an RV demands a perfectly functioning and regularly inspected brake system. We perform expert diagnosis and repair for all types of RV brake systems, including hydraulic and hydro-boost systems found on Ford and Chevy chassis, as well as the advanced ABS and electronic stability control systems on platforms like the Sprinter. Services include pad and rotor replacement, brake fluid flushes, caliper service, and brake line inspections.
Engine and Transmission Services
We provide specialized service for the full range of engines and transmissions used in Airstream chassis, including Ford V10s, Chevy V8s, Ram V6s, and Mercedes diesel engines. Services include routine maintenance, advanced diagnostics for performance issues or check engine lights, fuel system service (injectors, pumps), ignition system service (spark plugs, coils for gas engines), and servicing the heavy-duty automatic transmissions these chassis employ.
Suspension and Steering System Maintenance
A smooth, stable ride and predictable steering are essential for RV safety and comfort. We service all types of RV suspension systems, including leaf springs, coil springs, and the air suspensions found on some models. Services include replacing worn shocks, struts, bushings, and addressing steering components (tie rods, ball joints). We perform precision wheel alignments for all chassis types using our state-of-the-art, heavy-duty alignment equipment to ensure stable handling and prevent uneven tire wear.
Cooling System Maintenance
Proper engine cooling is critical under the heavy load of an RV, for both gasoline and diesel engines. Our services include radiator checks, coolant flushes (using the correct coolant type for the specific engine), water pump replacement, thermostat service, and inspection/replacement of all cooling hoses to prevent overheating and protect the engine.
Electrical System Diagnostics and Repairs
The chassis electrical system powers essential driving functions. We diagnose and repair all chassis-related 12-volt electrical issues, including battery testing and replacement (for the engine starting battery), alternator and starter service, lighting problems (headlights, taillights, signals), and troubleshooting dash warning lights.
Note: We do not service the 120V “house” electrical system.
Exhaust System Repairs
We maintain the health of the chassis’s exhaust system for both performance and emissions compliance. Services include diagnosing and repairing leaks, replacing damaged mufflers or pipes, and addressing issues with catalytic converters (for gas engines) to ensure the vehicle runs cleanly and efficiently.
Tire Services
Proper tire selection, inflation, and condition are paramount for safety on a heavy vehicle like an RV. We offer tire inspection (including checking for age-related cracking), rotation, balancing using equipment designed for large wheels, and replacement services with appropriately load-rated tires suitable for your Airstream.
DEF System Maintenance (for Diesel Engines)
For modern Airstream models built on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter diesel chassis, the Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) system is essential for emissions control. Our services include DEF tank refills, system diagnostics for any DEF-related warning lights, and cleaning or replacing sensors and injectors to ensure your vehicle runs clean and complies with all emissions standards.
