Do you work on older RVs?

Yes. We regularly service RVs from the 1980s through current model years. Older units often need electrical, propane, and water system expertise — which is our specialty.

 

ELECTRICAL & POWER QUESTIONS 

Why won’t my RV outlets work?

Common causes include:

  • GFCI tripped

  • Breaker tripped

  • Bad converter

  • Shore power issue

  • Wiring fault

We diagnose 12V and 120V systems on-site.

What should my RV battery voltage be?

  • Fully charged: 12.6–12.8V

  • Charging: 13.2–14.4V

  • Below 12.0V = discharged

We can test batteries, converters, and charging systems during a service visit.

Do I need a 30-amp or 50-amp hookup?

30-amp RVs can run limited appliances.
50-amp RVs allow multiple ACs and heavy loads.

We can inspect your system and explain your power limits before something fails.

 

PROPANE & WATER HEATER QUESTIONS

Why won’t my RV water heater ignite?

Common causes:

  • Bad igniter

  • Faulty control board

  • No propane flow

  • Dirty burner tube

  • Low battery voltage

We diagnose Suburban and Atwood systems on-site.

Do you service propane systems?

Yes. We inspect regulators, test for leaks, service furnaces, stoves, and water heaters.

  • Ventilation management

We offer winterization and cold-weather prep services.

INSPECTIONS & PREVENTATIVE CARE

Do you offer RV inspections?

  • Roof inspection

  • Sealant inspection

  • Propane system check

PRICING & SCHEDULING
