RV help for new and returning owners in Hazel Green

US 231 and 431 are the major roads in Hazel Green, which sits about 159 road miles from our Thorsby base.  Because the trip is long, we start with a phone conversation about the problem and the timing before a visit is planned.

What Hazel Green owners ask before a trip

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

We just bought a used travel trailer.  What does an inspection and orientation cover?

It is usually a walk through the camper with the owner.  That means looking at the roof, seals, tires, appliances and safety equipment, then showing how each system works and what to check before every trip.  It is also a good time to ask questions about the previous owner's repairs.  Call 205-955-3054 and we will talk through whether a visit to Hazel Green works.[1]

RV inspection and orientation

What belongs on a checklist before the first trip of the season?

Many owners check tire condition and pressure, the lights, the batteries, the LP system and the detectors.  They also run the water system, test the refrigerator and air conditioner, and look over the roof and seams.  A camper that sat through winter can hide small problems, and a short list written down once makes each trip easier.

Preventative maintenance

My air conditioner runs all afternoon and the camper is still warm.  What can I check?

Begin with the simple items: a dirty filter, blocked airflow and a power source that may be weak.  If the coil is icing or the unit runs but blows warm air, the cause may be more involved.  Hot, humid afternoons make an air conditioner work hard, so a small fault shows up sooner.  Describe what you see when you call 205-955-3054.

RV air conditioning

Where do leaks usually start after a heavy downpour?

Many leaks start where something is attached to the roof: vents, skylights, the air conditioner base, antenna mounts and the edges of the roof membrane.  Window and slide seals are other common spots.  Water can travel a long way inside a wall before it shows, so a stain may not sit directly under the source.

Roofs, awnings and sealants

Hazel Green is a long drive from you.  How do we decide if a visit works?

Hazel Green is about 159 road miles from our base in Thorsby, so we start with a conversation.  Call 205-955-3054 and tell us where the camper is parked, what it is doing and what you have tried.  We will talk through whether and when a visit works, and we do not promise a response time.[1]

Farm soil, a river edge and the road north

Wikipedia says settlers were arriving in the Hazel Green area by about 1810 for its rich soil, and a post office and schoolhouse followed in 1819.  The community sits along US 231 and 431, and the Flint River runs along its northeast edge.[2]

Hazel Green is about 159 road miles from our base in Thorsby, so we ask you to call 205-955-3054 before a visit is planned.  We will talk through the problem and whether and when a visit to your driveway, campsite or storage lot works.  Meridianville is about 4 road miles from Hazel Green, and Harvest is about 14.[1]

If you have just bought a camper, a walk-through before the first trip can take much of the guesswork out: how the air conditioner, water heater, refrigerator and LP system work, and what to check before you hitch up.  Summer heat and humidity are hard on an air conditioner, so it helps to learn what normal sounds and feels like.
