St. Clair County on I-20
RV and Camper Repair in Moody, on the I-20 Corridor
About 60 road miles separate Thorsby from Moody, so scheduling starts with a call about what the camper is doing and where it sits. Interstate 20 and US 411 both run through the city.

A crossroads city with two interstate exits
Moody is in St. Clair County, about 60 road miles from our base in Thorsby. A county tourism article describes the Moody Crossroads as a stoplight intersection with city hall and the sports park among the places around it, and says both I-20 and US 411 run through the city. We come to your driveway, campsite or storage lot there.[4,1]
Many campers pass through interstate corridors on the way somewhere else. A trailer or motorhome that has rolled for an hour can show trouble that a driveway never reveals, such as a tire running hot, a breaker that trips once the air conditioner starts, or an LP regulator that behaves differently on the move. If that happens, call us and describe it before you start guessing.
Closer to home, many driveways and campsites in Alabama sit under pines and hardwoods. Needles, sap and small limbs can collect on a roof and around vent and skylight sealant, so a look from time to time is worthwhile. Hard water can also leave scale and sediment in a water heater, and a slow drip under a sink is easier to deal with early.

Questions Moody RV owners ask
General information. Every situation is different, so call us about yours.
My camper developed a tire or breaker problem near the I-20 exits in Moody. What should I check first?
Get the rig to a safe spot away from the travel lanes if you can, then look at the simple things: tire pressure and condition, and whether the trouble is the camper's main breaker or the power source it is plugged into. Call 205-955-3054 and describe what you see. We can talk through whether it is something to look at on site. Moody is about 60 road miles from our Thorsby base.[1]
Pine needles and sap keep landing on my camper roof. How often should the sealant be checked?
It depends on how much tree cover you park under and how your roof is built. A reasonable habit is a careful look a couple of times a year and after storms, checking the sealant around vents, skylights and edges for cracks or gaps. Clear debris gently so you do not scrape the sealant. We can inspect a roof at your driveway or storage lot and tell you what we see.
My water heater is slow to heat and rumbles. Could that be scale or sediment?
It can be. Sediment and mineral scale may collect in a tank over time, especially if the water you fill with is hard, and that can slow heating or add noise. Draining and flushing is a common first step, but a burner, element or thermostat problem can look similar. A technician can sort out which it is. Call 205-955-3054 and tell us what the heater is doing.
There is a small leak under the kitchen sink in my camper. Is it worth fixing before the next trip?
Usually yes, since a slow drip can soak cabinet floors and cause damage that is harder to repair later. Shut off the water pump or the city water supply, dry the area, and note where the water appears: a fitting, a faucet or a drain line. That detail helps a lot. We can look at plumbing where the camper is parked, and you can reach us at 205-955-3054.
My refrigerator quit while I was stopped at a Moody travel stop. Where do I begin?
A truck-stop directory places a Love's Travel Stop at I-20 exit 147 in Moody. If the refrigerator or air conditioner stops while you are parked somewhere like that, check the power source, breakers and LP supply first, then call 205-955-3054 to describe what you find. Parking and hookup rules vary by location, so ask the place before you plan on staying.[6]
