Mobile RV Repair

I am getting ready to become a full timer but still want to generate some income. Would any of you folks that have been full timing consider using a mobile RV service for work needed on your rigs?

I have been a service tech for most of my career and do all the work required to my own rig. I'm talking about services like AC service/repair or water heater/furnace work. Wouldn't be working on drive trains.


Just trying to figure out if it worth getting the official service tech certification ?
  • We're here on the Kenai. Here the Mobile RV tech here summer's here and in Tucson for the winter. He has clients in both places. He's also licensed in both places. His truck is fully equipped, so think about how much inventory you have to carry. He does a good business. Good luck.
  • Mobile service is for the most part all I use. At my home base I have found a mobile tech I trust and accepts my extended warranty when needed. He has even accomplished body work for me when I kissed a tree. On the road, if I need service I contact the mobile tech who is trusted by the campground where I am staying.
    JMHO
  • People definitely use mobile RV repair services, but I see them more in more densely populated areas and I've always assumed they typically get referred to RVers by the RV park - a local, known business. So if you are traveling around, it might be hard to build a reputation and get referrals before moving on. But I am not the best to say, I guess. Been full-timing almost 8 years and have done most of my own repairs as well. Just the way I was brought up. Really the only service I have paid for while full-timing is oil/lube/cooling system and tranny scheduled maintenance.
