Hartselle, a rail town near the interstate
Hartselle is in Morgan County, with U.S. 31 and State Highway 36 crossing in town and Interstate 65 along the eastern side of town. The town was laid out along the Louisville and Nashville tracks, and its annual Depot Days festival celebrates that railroad heritage.[3]
Hartselle is on our service list, but our only base is in Thorsby, about 115 road miles away. Because of that distance we do not promise a visit. Decatur is about 12 road miles from Hartselle and Athens about 29, so call 205-955-3054 and we will talk through whether and when a trip to this part of Morgan County works.[1]
Many campers spend long stretches parked between trips, and that has its own problems. Batteries run down, tires can settle into flat spots, and small animals look for sheltered corners. If yours waits in a storage lot or a side yard, a check before the first outing of the season is worth the time.

Hartselle owners ask about parked and new campers
General information. Every situation is different, so call us about yours.
My camper has sat for months. What should be checked before the first trip?
Check whether the batteries still hold a charge, look over tire condition and pressure, and watch for signs that mice or other pests got inside. Make sure the water system and LP gear behave before you leave home, because a trial run close by beats finding trouble on the road. We can look over a stored RV and talk through what turns up.
I just bought a camper. Can someone walk me through it before my first trip?
An orientation covers how the systems work, from LP and water to power, slide-outs, awnings and appliances, so the first outing holds fewer surprises. An inspection can also catch problems early. Because Hartselle is about 115 road miles from Thorsby, call 205-955-3054 first so we can talk through whether and when a visit works.[1]
Where is Hartselle in relation to Thorsby and the towns around it?
Hartselle is about 115 road miles from Thorsby. Decatur is about 12 road miles from Hartselle, Cullman about 24 and Athens about 29. Those are road distances only. Since a trip this far is not a given, tell us where the RV is parked and what is wrong, and we will talk through whether and when we can come.[1]
My A/C cannot keep up on humid afternoons. Is that normal?
On a hot, humid day a roof air conditioner may take a long time to catch up, especially in a camper that has baked in the sun. Weak cooling can also come from a dirty filter, blocked airflow or a failing part. If the unit blows warm air or ices over, we can look at it and talk through the cause.
Is there a place in Hartselle to keep an RV or stay overnight?
A Campendium listing describes KV's RV Park and Storage at 1720 Walls Lane NE in Hartselle as having RV sites with hookups and RV and trailer storage. Details change, so check with the park about availability, rules and whether outside service is allowed before you count on it.[4]
