What appliance repairs and replacements do you actually do on RVs?
We handle six core appliance jobs: residential fridge swaps, Dometic and Atwood absorption cooling unit replacements, washer and dryer installs, microwave swaps, ice-maker repair and replacement, and water filter changes. These are coach-side systems - not engine or chassis work. Refrigerators are our bread and butter. Most RVs come with either a two-way absorption fridge (runs on propane or 120V) or a newer residential unit. Both fail. Both need replacement or repair. We've done over 12,000 RV jobs in 15 years. Absorption cooling units cost $600-$1,400 to replace. Residential fridges run $800-$2,000 installed. Microwaves, $300-$600. Ice-makers, $200-$500. Water filters, $40-$120. We quote everything flat-rate by phone at (888) 787-3727. No surprises. No hourly guessing.
A guy in Boise called us last month. His 2019 Jayco travel trailer had a Dometic RM2193 absorption fridge that wouldn't cool on propane. We quoted $950 for a new cooling unit and install - gave him the price on the call. Rolled out the same afternoon, had him cold again by dinner. He could've taken it to a dealer, waited three weeks, and paid 40% more. That's not our problem to solve for them anymore. He called us instead.

How fast can you get to my RV if an appliance fails?
We're mobile only - no shop. We come to you in Florida or Idaho. Core area emergency response is 2-4 hours. If your fridge dies on a Friday night in Tampa or Boise, call us and we'll fit you in same-day if we can. Non-emergency calls get scheduled within 3-5 business days depending on queue. We answer our own phone at (888) 787-3727. No voicemail tree. If you're outside our core zones, we have a nationwide partner network - you still get A1 flat-rate pricing and 90-day warranty on the install, but a local partner does the work. No difference in quality. We've trained them. Response time is reality - we can't teleport. But we move fast, we show up on time, and we don't waste your day on diagnostics.
A Keystone owner broke down in Ocala with a dead absorption fridge in 95-degree heat. Called us at 11 a.m. on a Tuesday. We had a tech en route by 11:45. Cooling unit was $750, installed by 3 p.m., family back on the road. Dealer appointment would've been next week. Mobile beats fixed location every time for emergencies. That's why we don't have a shop.
Response and scheduling:
- Emergency calls: 2-4 hour response in core Florida/Idaho areas
- Routine appointments: 3-5 business days standard scheduling
- Nationwide partner network for out-of-zone locations
- Same flat-rate pricing and warranty everywhere
- Direct phone lines - no call centers
Do you work on all RV brands and appliance models?
Yes on RV brands - Forest River, Jayco, Winnebago, Tiffin, Grand Design, Keystone, Coachmen, Thor, and others. On appliances, we stock and install Dometic and Atwood units plus quality afterma
What happens after we install your appliance and how is it guaranteed?
We give a 90-day workmanship warranty on every install. If the job fails because we messed up, we fix it at no charge within 90 days of completion. That covers our labor and the install quality. Parts carry their own warranties - Dometic units are typically 1-3 years, residential fridges 1-2 years, washers/dryers 1 year. You get those manufacturer warranties as-is. We test every install before we leave - fridge cools, ice-maker makes ice, washer fills and drains, dryer vents and heats. We verify propane flow if applicable. You get a receipt with parts and labor, and you can call us if something goes sideways. We answer the phone. No runaround. If your new absorption cooling unit fails six weeks in, we come back and troubleshoot at no cost. If it's a defect, Dometic handles the warranty claim. If it's your use-case, we talk you through it.
A Tiffin Allegro owner in Jacksonville had us swap a residential fridge in March. By May the compressor was making noise. He called, we came back, checked it out, confirmed it was a manufacturing defect, and worked with Dometic on the claim. He got a replacement under warranty. We handled the swap again at no labor cost. That's the 90-day commitment. We don't hide behind fine print. You bought peace of mind.

- 90-day A1 workmanship warranty on all labor
- Manufacturer warranties on all parts (1-3 years typical)
- Pre-delivery testing on every install
- Full receipt with part details and serial numbers
