Straight answers for Bibb County campers

General information.  Every situation is different, so call us about yours.

Why does my RV air conditioner struggle on summer afternoons?

Summers in Centreville are hot and humid, with average July and August highs around 90 degrees Fahrenheit according to the city's Wikipedia page.  An RV air conditioner works hard in that.  Dirty filters, blocked coils, a weak capacitor and low campground voltage can all reduce cooling.  If the unit runs but the cabin never cools, a visit can sort out which it is.[2]

Should I check my roof after a tropical-storm downpour?

It is a good idea.  Annual rainfall in Centreville averages around 57 inches according to Wikipedia, and heavy summer and tropical-storm rain can find weak spots in roof seams, vent flanges and old sealant.  Look for hairline cracks, lifted edges and water stains on the ceiling.  If you see any, an early repair is usually simpler than fixing water damage later.[2]

Can solar keep my batteries up when a campsite has no power?

It can help, depending on the panels, the battery bank and what you run.  A fridge, lights, a water pump and device charging add up over several days, and shade can cut what panels produce.  We can look at your setup at your driveway or storage lot, check the wiring and controller, and talk through realistic expectations.

Can you meet me at the Cahaba River Historical Park?

We go to driveways, campsites and storage lots, so a campsite visit may be possible.  The city operates the park, offering camping, picnic areas, trails and rental pavilions, so ask the city about its rules for outside repair visits first.  Call us to talk through where you are parked and what the RV is doing.[5]
