General information. Every situation is different, so call us about yours.
Summers here are hot and humid, according to Wikipedia, and a camper closed up after a wet stay can hold moisture. Damp cabinets, condensation on windows and a musty smell are common signs. Airing it out, running a vent fan and wiping up condensation help, and so does checking for a slow leak around windows, vents or plumbing. If the smell or dampness keeps coming back, we can help track down the source.[2]
Both can matter. Many RV refrigerators work harder when it is hot outside, and many do not cool well when the camper sits noticeably off level. Check that the camper is level, that the vents behind the unit are clear and that the door closes tightly. If it still does not hold temperature, tell us what it does and when, and we can look into it.
Start with the filter and the return grille, since pollen and dust can build up there and cut airflow. A film on the coil or a blocked vent can do the same. Cleaning what you can reach is a fair first step. If the airflow is still weak or the unit blows warm air, a closer look at the system is the next move, and we can do that at your site.
We go to driveways, campsites and storage lots, so a visit to a park campsite can be possible. A park may have its own rules about outside service, so ask the park first. Then call us and describe the problem and where you are parked. Site availability, hours and fees are for Wind Creek State Park to confirm.[5]
Alexander City is about 55 road miles from Thorsby by car. From there, Sylacauga is about 26 road miles, Tallassee about 33, Verbena about 41 and Clanton about 47. If your RV is in or near one of those places, mention it when you call, and we will talk through the visit.[1]
Alexander City is the largest city in Tallapoosa County, and Lake Martin on the Tallapoosa River is a big part of local life. Wikipedia says the lake offers boating, swimming, fishing, golf and camping, and the Encyclopedia of Alabama puts its shoreline at more than 700 miles when the lake is full.[2,4]
Wind Creek State Park has an Alexander City address, and its page lists waterfront campsites, premium sites with water and sewer, and a marina with boat rentals. If an air conditioner or refrigerator acts up while you are parked near the water, a mobile visit can save a trip to a shop. Check with the park about rules, fees and availability.[5]
Our only base is in Thorsby, about 55 road miles from Alexander City by car. Sylacauga is about 26 road miles from Alexander City, and Tallassee about 33. We come to the driveway, campsite or storage lot where your RV is, and we are glad to talk through the details first.[1]
