I Tried a Rural RV Repair Shop… and It Was Complicated

Описание: I took our travel trailer to an off-the-beaten-path RV salvage and repair shop for some spring maintenance, and the experience was… mixed. 🛠️🚐

In this video, I share the full story — from fair labor rates and a small two-person operation, to some questionable repair choices, a makeshift fresh water drain fix, reused wiring on a new battery disconnect, and the mystery of my missing marker light lenses.

This is not a hit piece on rural businesses or small repair shops. It’s a real-world look at the challenges of getting quality service when you live in a rural area, where mainstream options for RVs, vehicles, plumbing, and other repairs are often limited.

I also talk about something a lot of RV owners can relate to: the pressure to do everything yourself. Sometimes YouTube tutorials are great. Sometimes calling in a pro is absolutely the right move — even if the experience doesn’t go exactly how you hoped.

With camping season 2026 right around the corner, this might be a helpful watch for anyone getting their RV ready for spring and trying to decide where to take it for service.

Have you ever had an RV repair experience that left you unsure whether to laugh, shrug, or worry a little? Let me know in the comments. 👇
