My source has been local social groups, like Craigslist and Facebook.
I've worked with three different mobile techs and they're all very focused on word-of-mouth. They all have their strengths and weaknesses.
My favorite guy does great work and charges a fair price, but he's one of the flakiest men I've ever met. It's so hard to get him to show up on time, but he's come through for me and done a ton of great work.
The nature of these techs is kind of like the difference between a contractor and a handyman. If these mobile guys were perfect though, then they'd need business licenses and insurance and they'd cost a lot more. These techs have been more like picking up a day guy at Home Depot, except they all know their way around an RV really well.
Try your local groups. Ask the desks at some RV parks. Even check with busy RV service centers to see who they farm their small jobs out to. Also drive to a couple local RV storage yards and ask the on-site guy about the techs they see coming out to do work on their premises. You'll probably see some signs posted at those lots too.
