Extreme Auto Caravan and Camping

He then moved onto work at GMH from 2001 to 2005 where he did various training courses on plc’s, Fanuc systems, Automotive Electronics and Computer Robotic systems. After the rumours that automotive manufacturing in Australia was winding down, Matthew decided to leave GMH and pursue bigger and better things.

First time I have used Matt, absolutely wrapped with the work he has done for me on installing solar panels, lithium batteries and would absolutely recommend him to anyone.
December 1, 2020Matt you have superb understanding and knowledge of 12v. You listen to the people and give sound advice of what is best needed to their van. Riley you are a... read more champion, you will learn a lot from Matt. Well worth the long wait, now to navigate our way through the new off grid system we had installed. Thank you Ray and Jan
August 30, 2021Matt recently installed my diesel heater. His business model is spot on. He books you in, confirms the day before he comes, sends you an sms when he... read more is close to arriving.

Last week Matt installed our WiTi Alarm system and a Masten Reverse Camera to our Jayco Outback Journey Caravan. I can highly recommend him. Matt is very experienced in his... read more field. He is more than happy to answer all your questions and provide advice. We had a problem with the reverse camera and he helped us fix it giving instructions over the phone while he waited. Unfortunately Jayco mismatched our wiring. Next our Diesel heater needs to be installed and Matt’s got the job!
March 15, 2021Reviewing from a different perspective... As a supplier to Extreme, what made my decision to supply to Matt was the consistent attention to detail and quality of work. I spent... read more several months contemplating and looking for anything to be wary of, but there's nothing to be found. He's got a very uncommon knowledge of the way things work, not just "if" they work, and that makes his installs something that can be relied on. The communication, honestly and reliability is also something I can't fault. It's a busy business, but for things like this, the wait is worth it. Well done to the whole team who run this business, you've got it right.
December 6, 2021Extremely happy to HIGHLY recommend this business.Did a heap of lithium battery related work on my car and caravan for a VERY REASONABLE price.***** 12/10 A BIG thank you to... read more Riley and Matt. Well done blokes👍👏

Matthew was on time, informative, polite, efficient and completed great work. He installed a UHF Radio and Antenna then gave me instructions how to use. I also had a damaged... read more Caravan T V antenna which Matthew also fixed, then he fixed my caravan reverse camera cord. These extra items didn't take Matthew very long but he certainly saved me time and money as he didn't charge me. Support small business.

Recently Matt and Riely installed a Monster Of grid solar system into our new Avida Esperance motorhome. After many queations asked by Matt on the requirements that we were expectng in... read more our off grid system and many Questions answered, Matt designed the monster. Matts knowledge and committment informing us and instalation surpassed all expectation, after installing the system which Matt designed he ran though and tested every component to the limits and thoroughly instructed us on usage of the monster.

Matt did some wiring upgrades to our Caravan and Ute today. Great bloke and brilliant workmanship 10/10. This guy is a genius when it comes to 12 volt stuff -... read more explains what he is doing and everything is completed properly and so very neatly. If you want something done to the highest standard at a very reasonable rate we would definitely recommend Matt. Many thanks - Cheers Gary
February 24, 2021I thoroughly recommend Matt and his team from Extreme Auto Caravan and Camping, for any work on your 12v system in van or motorhome. He has always done... read more a very professional job whenever I call for his assistance. Today he upgraded our lithium battery charging system. He knows what he is talking about when it comes to off grid electrical systems. Thanks Matt.
July 2, 2021Our thoughts - professional, helpful and willing to go the extra mile. Our newly constructed slide-on camper had a Victron / Safiery system installed in it. Matt came out and before... read more touching anything showed me the lack of quality workmanship completed by the OEM. The OEM, when installing, it did a poor job with loose connections (finger tight in some cases), incorrect lug sizes (35mm lugs used on 25mm cable), lack of ferrules and no ventilation which had caused the system to "Spike" causing the failure of the Cerbo, Multiplus II and the batteries. Matt re-wired the system taking out undersized wires, re-lugging/re-terminating, replacing cheap fuse holders with lugged fuse holders, putting fuses inline when there had been none previously, and after I had to re-purchase another system (OEM wouldn't do anything about warranty) Matt installed it with labels and fuses and explained how it worked. Matt also installed a ventilation system into the compartment as the equipment, at times, had got so hot you would burn your hand if you touched things. Now this keeps everything cool and running well. Matt was very professional about the whole situation and fitted me into his very busy schedule as best he could. We are grateful that we have been put onto Matt to help fix our situation. We can recommend Matt very highly to anyone for a new system and repairs on an old system. If / when we do this again we will talk to Matt first.

After having a charger die a quick call to Matt and even though he is booked through to the end of the year, almost, a cure was found and... read more a drop by visit was arranged in Adelaide. This is the second job Matt has done for us and we will be calling on him in the future for any work and upgrade in the future. Thanks for great service Matt, Mark Leanne #andSam. Beulah Victoria.
July 2, 2021Job done as required. Excellent work does great job.
September 10, 2019Matt does an amazing job and thinks about what you need for the type of travel you do. Very professional with attention to detail. Cannot recommend him enough!

Matt was on time, friendly, professional, very organised and absolutely knew his stuff. He took the time to show me that he'd tested the connections and how everything hung together.... read more The visible bits of the cabling showed he'd put time and effort into making them sturdy and protected from the elements. Super happy with his work and lovely guy to deal with.
January 14, 2019I have used Matthew for the first time today. I had an AES fridge problem. What a great operator. Knows his stuff, very reasonable price and nice guy to go... read more with it.

Mat and Riley installed a diesel heater in our caravan and did an excellent job. Thanks once again Mat
October 18, 2021Thanks Matt, very happy with the job you did with the added extra Solar and new batteries, very professional and as added bonus, the Drifter Panel works a treat! 😊 Would... read more recommend Matt anytime!
May 28, 2019We didn’t mind driving up from Melbourne and waiting for over 3 months for a booking to get some of Matt’s 12volt expertise in upgrading our lithium power... read more needs, SatKing Pro satellite and Cel-fi Signal booster and Sirocco fans installation to the bunk as well as additional solar panels on our JB Scorpion Sting. We’d rate Matt’s knowledge to that of an ‘Expert’ in his field. Matt and his apprentice Riley have a lovely disposition, great work ethic and utmost regard for the client’s gear. They covered all surfaces before working on them, even put cardboard on the floor inside the van, taking great care not to scratch or damage the caravan. Even their ladder has a soft protective foam to avoid damage to the van when leaning against it. They arrived on time, worked diligently, cleaned up after themselves and even went the extra mile to repair / amend some rather ordinary factory work on the caravan which was well outside the scope of their engagement with us. We found the price to be reasonable and the quality of their work is unmatched. After sales support is amazing with Matt. He is not shy to answer his phone and attended to your queries. Will be using and recommend Matt’s service in the future without the slightest hesitation. Thank you Matt and Riley. We love the work you have done. We can now free camp for so much longer, have phone reception with Cel-fi booster to work remotely and the SatKing to enjoy TV in the middle of no where and kids can stay cool in WA and the NT with their new fans Cheers Daniel, Preeti and kids!

Met Matt @ Caravan/Camp show 2 yrs back. Professional, knowledgeable & a great work ethic. He turned up when he said he would, did exactly what he said he would... read more do & traveled to our rural area (250klms) to do it - twice! I recommend him 100%. I will continue to use for as long as he is in business. Thank you Matt.
January 28, 2020Not only was Matt very efficient - professional and extremely knowledgeable about the work he does, he is also 'old school' when it comes to manners - respect and friendliness.... read more He also took the time to explain and look at a couple of other other things on/in my van that I didn't understand and that had nothing to do with the solar panels that he was installing for me. Also, when the job was completed he cleaned up after himself !? I am extremely happy with the job and also had a very pleasant few hours in Matt's company. I would highly recommend "Extreme Auto & Marine" to all. THANK YOU so much Matt !!
August 17, 2018Hey just want to say thanks heaps mate for the the work you done on my car I could not be happier. I am one happy customer and would recommend... read more you to all my mates :0)
