Air Conditioning
Which air conditioner brands do you work on?
We repair and install air conditioners from brands including Dometic, Furrion, GE and Coleman, from a refrigerant recharge or part replacement to a full unit replacement. More on [air conditioning](/air-conditioning).
Furnaces and Heating
Can you check my RV furnace or heating system?
Yes. We service standard RV furnaces and hydronic heating systems such as Aqua Hot and Elwell, from minor repairs to full replacements. See [furnaces and heating](/furnace-and-heating).
Refrigerator Repair
Can you repair my RV refrigerator?
Yes. We repair common problems such as temperature fluctuations, compressor failures and broken seals on Norcold, Dometic and Furrion refrigerators, and we install modern, energy-efficient replacements. See [refrigerator repair](/refrigerator-repair).
Water Heater Service
What water heater problems can you fix?
We diagnose and repair water heaters that have stopped producing heat, have a leak or need a new thermostat. We service Dometic, Suburban, Girard and Truma systems and install tankless water heaters. See [water heater service](/water-heater-service).
Plumbing and LP Systems
Do you test LP systems?
Yes. Our LP system maintenance includes pressure tests and lock-up tests. We also repair plumbing, including toilets, water lines, tanks and valves. If you smell propane, leave the RV, keep flames and sparks away, and call your gas supplier or 911 from a safe distance. See [plumbing and LP systems](/plumbing-and-lp-systems).
RV Accessories
Can you install accessories, safety equipment or a backup camera?
Yes. We install roof fans, audio and video systems, navigation equipment, LED lighting and plumbing upgrades, and we install and repair carbon monoxide detectors, LP detectors and fire extinguishers. Backup camera installations include Furrion and Voyager. See [accessories](/accessories) and [safety equipment](/safety-equipment).
RV Inspection and Orientation
What does an RV inspection cover?
An RV inspection is much like a home inspection. Depending on the type of RV and the level of inspection, it covers between 77 and over 160 inspection points, with a strong emphasis on life safety systems. It does not replace your state's DMV inspection for roadworthiness. Oil and coolant analysis for the engine, transmission and generator is also available, and we offer a new owner orientation. See [RV inspection](/rv-inspection).
Preventative Maintenance
What does preventative maintenance include?
Winterization, oil changes, bearing pack services and spring repairs. We inspect your RV during every service, including tire health and suspension components. See [preventative maintenance](/preventative-maintenance).
