setraveler: Mobile Techs advertise in almost every campground I've been in. Some are written up in www.rvservicereviews.com. Several I've used were former RV dealer shop guys. I had generator problems on my last long trip and used two. Both had trucks with everything imaginable in them and both were Onan trained. The one I use at our base camp does it all from hitches to electronics...in fact he's coming Wed to deal with a leak, water heater, and battery drain. He recently replaced all my awnings/slide toppers and repaired my AC's. He knows how to get warranty authorizations.
As I wrote earlier, my new in '08 rig has never been to a dealer's facility. For one, I had no issues when I was under warranty and now with age and 60K miles, I'm having a few. I call the Tech and he comes to the rig, sometimes the same day. If he has to order a part, it might take 3 days. The hardest thing about mobile techs is they have trouble working on a rig in a campground because other campers keep interrupting them to come work on their rig!
PS: I don't think they do engine, transmission, etc. I use an independent shop for that work.
Just my experience. Offered as a data point.
