We recommend all RV owners learn the basics of how their RVs work, especially critically important preventative maintenance like resealing, winterizing and insect-proofing. As the saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Some problems require in-depth knowledge. If you find yourself memorizing propane vaporization tables or analyzing the absorption refrigeration thermodynamic cycle, dare we suggest you’ve gone too deep?
Rather than quarantining your RV at a service dealership for weeks or months, you can hire a mobile RV tech to fix many issues on-the-go. The RV Doc's mission is to keep you where you belong -- on the road!
You don’t want to mess around with an air conditioner, generator, or refrigerator without knowing what you’re doing. You could easily damage the appliance, which would put you back to Square One: Calling a technician, who will now charge to fix the original problem -- AND your mistake! (Hint: a mistake with a generator can quickly balloon to a four-digit expen$e!)
Hey, not everyone is mechanically-minded and that’s OK. Perhaps you don’t understand Ohm’s law. To each their own. After all, you shouldn’t have to be a plumber/ electrician/ carpenter to enjoy owning your RV -- and that’s where we come in!
RV problems often happen before or during a vacation, don’t they? While you COULD cancel your travel plans and spend three days researching and trying to fix your busted system yourself, wouldn’t it be better (for all concerned) just to have it fixed right away? (The saying, "happy wife, happy life" comes to mind.)
If you’re struggling to diagnose the root cause of a problem, it’s tempting to throw money at suspect parts hoping the replacement fixes the problem. (If this strategy works for you, might we recommend moving to Las Vegas?) For the rest of us, this rarely works out as we hoped. A skilled RV technician can quickly deduce and diagnose the root cause and if necessary, replace the correct part[s].
Thankfully, many RV problems can be fixed with common hand and electrical tools, but sometimes, specialty tools and equipment are required -- or simply make the repair much faster!
When working with propane or electricity, there’s the potential for serious injury or death. If you suspect a propane leak or a high-voltage hot skin condition, now isn’t the time to save a few bucks – get expert help now!
RVing is a wonderful, exhilarating way to see this great country! Don’t let mechanical problems ruin your vacation! There’s no shame in having someone fix your RV for you. We pay experts to cut our hair, file our taxes, repair our computers and even haul our trash to the dump. Life’s too short to do everything yourself!
