What electrical repairs can A1 actually handle on my RV?
We handle everything coach-side electrical: converters, inverters, battery banks, shore power inlets, breaker panels, 12V wiring, and diagnostics. A Progressive Dynamics or WFCO converter replacement runs $600-$900 installed. A Battle Born lithium battery bank upgrade costs $2,800-$3,200 depending on capacity. Shore power inlet replacement (Hubbell or Marinco) is $400-$550. We do not touch chassis, engine, or transmission - that's dealer work. But everything from the battery box backward is ours.
A Winnebago owner in Tampa had her converter die mid-trip last summer. It was a Progressive Dynamics unit that wouldn't charge the coach batteries. We diagnosed it by phone in 10 minutes, quoted $750 flat, and rolled up the next morning. Replaced the converter and ran full 12V diagnostics on all her circuits. Her fridge came back to life. That's the work we do - real problem, real speed, real price. No guessing.

Why does my converter keep failing or my batteries won't hold charge?
Converters fail from age, heat, power surges, or bad shore power connections - typically after 8-12 years. A WFCO converter in a Grand Design sitting in 110-degree Arizona heat degrad

How much does electrical service actually cost - converter, inverter, battery work?
Converter replacement: $600-$900. Inverter replacement: $800-$1,400. Basic 12V diagnostics: $150 flat. Lithium battery bank: $2,800-$3,200 installed. Shore power inlet: $400-$550. These are flat-rate quotes over the phone -
Voltage drop. Bad shore inlet, undersized cable, or a tired converter that cannot keep up.
Converter not charging, parasitic draw, or batteries past their life. We test all three.

A Coachmen owner broke down outside Phoenix on a Friday afternoon. His converter died, shore power wasn't working. He called us. We connected him with our Arizona partner, who showed up within 3 hours, diagnosed a failed Hubbell inlet and bad converter, and quoted $1,100 flat. Owner approved. By 6 p.m. he had power again. Same standard as if we drove there ourselves.

A Grand Design owner in Ocala noticed her fridge wasn't cooling on shore power. She called at 9 a.m. We asked: How old is the converter? What voltage does the panel read? Is the breaker tripping? She answered three questions. We knew it was the converter. We quoted $750. She said yes. We were at her site by 11:30 a.m., swapped a Progressive Dynamics unit, ran 12V load tests, and left. She handed us a check. Total time: 1.5 hours. Total stress: none.
