Common questions
Can an RV tech come to my RV park or storage lot?
Yes for many repairs. Confirm the park or storage facility allows mobile service, and make sure the tech has access to power, water, and both sides of the RV if needed.
Do RV repair techs need a Texas license?
Texas does not have a general RV repair license. Refrigerant work needs EPA certification, and some propane or electrical work may need a separate licensed trade depending on the repair.
What should I do if the slide is stuck?
Stop pushing buttons. A stuck slide can be a motor, gear, seal, alignment, voltage, or obstruction problem. Forcing it can bend the mechanism.
Can you fix RV roof leaks?
Yes if the roof structure is still sound. The tech checks seams, vents, skylights, antenna mounts, and previous patches. Water-damaged decking or wall material is a bigger repair.
Can you service RV air conditioners?
Cleaning, electrical checks, capacitors, thermostats, and replacement units are common. Work involving the refrigerant circuit requires EPA Section 608 certification.
Do you repair RV appliances?
Yes for many refrigerators, water heaters, furnaces, cooktops, and pumps. Brand, model, age, and part availability decide whether repair or replacement makes sense.
Should I inspect my RV before hurricane season?
Yes. Check roof seals, batteries, tires, awnings, propane, and water systems before storms or evacuation travel. Wind can ruin an old awning fast.
Coastal Bend seasons
Spring (March - May)
Pre-trip inspections, roof reseals, batteries, tires, and A/C checks pick up before travel season.
Summer (June - August)
A/C failures, campground calls, and awning damage are common. Heat makes electrical and cooling issues show up quickly.
Fall (September - November)
Hurricane evacuation prep and post-storm leak checks matter. Roof and awning repairs should not wait.
Winter (December - February)
Good season for appliance work, roof maintenance, storage prep, and interior repairs.
