WELCOME

TO THE BADGER WORKSHOP

Located in the Upper Highway area, The Badger Workshop brings together a skilled team of electricians, welders, mechanics, and fabricators, all passionate about outdoor living and South African adventure culture.

From routine caravan servicing to complete off-grid conversions, our mission is simple:

“To keep you on the road, on the water, and off the grid — safely, comfortably, and in style.”

Can't Come To Us? No Problem!

We’ll come to you! We offer call-out inspections and services right where you are. After assessing your caravan or boat, we’ll prepare a report and come back to complete the service or basic repairs. If more extensive work is needed, we’ll collect it, service it in our workshop, and return it to you once it’s ready.
