RV Repair Tips & Guides
Practical maintenance advice, repair cost breakdowns, and safety checklists from 10+ years of mobile RV work in Indian River County.
We started this blog because the same questions kept coming up on service calls. How much should a roof reseal cost? Is my electrical panel safe? What does a pre-purchase inspection actually cover? Instead of answering them one RV at a time, we figured we'd put it all in writing.
Every article here comes from hands-on experience. Patrick Lee has been repairing RVs across Sebastian, Vero Beach, Fellsmere, and the rest of Indian River County since 2016. That's 2,800+ repairs, 8 service categories, and a lot of lessons learned the hard way. We'll share the numbers, the standards we follow (NEC 551, NFPA 1192), and the shortcuts that actually work.
Whether you're a full-timer trying to stretch your maintenance budget or a weekend camper preparing for your first Florida summer, you'll find something useful below. And if you'd rather just call and get it fixed, we do that too.
