On the old Nashville to Huntsville road

Wikipedia says Meridianville dates to the early 1800s, when Joseph Fenwick settled it along the main road between Nashville and Huntsville, now US 231/431, and offered lots for sale in 1818.  The community took its name from its position on the base meridian line.[2]

Meridianville is about 154 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.  Huntsville is about 10 road miles from Meridianville, and Hazel Green about 4.[1]

Owners who travel US 231/431 or the interstates around Huntsville sometimes meet trouble on the road: an overheated tire, an LP regulator that acts up, a breaker that trips after a long drive.  A roadside problem is a different job from a driveway repair, and a phone call can help sort out which one you have.[2]

Questions about RV trouble near the Meridianville stretch

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

I broke down on US 231/431 with a camper problem.  Can you help?

That depends on the problem.  For a tire failure or an engine or drivetrain breakdown, a roadside service or tow company is usually the first call.  Our work is RV systems, such as a breaker that will not hold, no LP flow or a dead 12 volt supply.  Call 205-955-3054 and we will talk through whether and when a visit to Meridianville works.

Tracking down an RV problem

How do I know whether my water heater needs flushing?

Signs often include popping or rumbling sounds, slow recovery, or a tank that never seems to deliver as much hot water as it used to.  In areas with hard water, scale and sediment can collect over time, and many owners flush the tank on a regular schedule.  How you flush depends on your model, so check the manual or call 205-955-3054.

Water heater service

There is water under my bathroom sink after a trip.  Where do I look?

Begin with the simplest places: the drain trap, the faucet connections and the supply fittings.  Vibration on the road can loosen fittings, and a small drip can hide for weeks.  Dry everything with a paper towel, run the water briefly and watch which spot gets wet first.  If it is not obvious, we can help you trace the leak.

Plumbing and LP gas systems

What should I look at on a parked camper after a tornado watch?

Many owners check the awning first, then the slide seals, the roof edges and the tie-downs or stabilizers.  Look for fabric tears, bent arms, loose trim and anything that has shifted.  Do not run a damaged awning or slide in or out until you have looked it over.  Tell us what you find and we can talk through the next step.
