General RV Service Questions

Look for warning signs like unusual noises, fluid leaks, electrical issues, appliance malfunctions, or decreased performance. We recommend annual comprehensive inspections even when everything seems fine, as preventive maintenance catches small issues before they become expensive problems. If you're planning a long trip, schedule a pre-travel inspection to ensure reliability.
Repair times vary based on complexity and parts availability. Minor repairs like brake work or appliance service may take 1-2 days, while major projects like engine rebuilds or structural repairs can take 2-4 weeks. We provide detailed time estimates upfront and keep you informed of any changes. Emergency repairs are handled as quickly as possible.
Yes, we service all major RV manufacturers including Airstream, Winnebago, Thor, Forest River, Jayco, Coachmen, Tiffin, Entegra, and many others. Our technicians are trained on various RV systems and have access to manufacturer service information. Whether you have a vintage model or the latest luxury motorhome, we can help.
We do provide limited mobile services within a 50-mile radius of our facility for minor repairs and maintenance. This includes battery replacement, basic electrical work, and small appliance repairs. Major repairs require our fully equipped facility for safety and quality assurance.

Maintenance & Warranty Questions

Regular maintenance includes checking tire pressure, inspecting seals and caulking, cleaning and inspecting the roof, checking fluid levels, testing batteries, and inspecting electrical connections. We provide customized maintenance schedules based on your RV type, usage patterns, and storage conditions. Annual professional inspections are highly recommended.
Most manufacturers recommend annual comprehensive service, with oil changes every 5,000-7,500 miles for motorhomes. However, frequency depends on usage, storage conditions, and age. Seasonal users might need pre-season and post-season service, while full-time users may need more frequent attention. We create personalized service schedules for each customer.
We provide comprehensive service protection on all our work. Labor comes with a 12-month/12,000-mile protection, while parts vary by manufacturer (typically 6-24 months). Service protection includes both parts and labor for defects and workmanship issues. We document all service protection information and provide service certificates with each service.
Yes, we're authorized service providers for most major RV manufacturers and can perform warranty work. We follow all manufacturer procedures and use only approved parts and processes. Warranty work requires proper documentation and may need prior authorization. We handle all the paperwork to ensure your warranty remains valid.

Cost & Scheduling Questions

Repair costs vary widely based on the issue and RV type. Simple repairs might cost $200-500, while major engine work can exceed $5,000. We provide detailed, written estimates before starting any work and explain all costs upfront. No surprises – you're approval is required before proceeding with additional work.
For larger repair projects, we can arrange flexible payment plans. We accept cash, check, major credit cards, and offer financing through approved partners for qualified customers. Emergency repairs can often be handled with a deposit, with the balance due upon completion.
For routine maintenance, schedule 1-2 weeks in advance. Major repairs may require 2-4 weeks depending on parts availability. We often have same-day or next-day availability for urgent repairs. Spring preparation and fall winterization are our busiest times, so schedule early for seasonal services.
We can provide rough estimates over the phone for common issues, but accurate pricing requires a physical inspection. Many problems have multiple causes and solutions. We offer free estimates – just bring your RV in for a diagnostic evaluation, and we'll provide a detailed written estimate.
