Mobile RV Repair in Blanco, TX

Mobile RV repair at Blanco campsites and ranch lots

Blanco State Park hugs about a mile of the spring-fed Blanco River on the south side of town. Park Road 23 runs into it from US 281. The campground has 29 sites with water and electric hookups. Seventeen of them add sewer, and eight of those carry 50 amp power.

Texas Parks and Wildlife puts the park about an hour from Austin and San Antonio. The department stocks the river with trout each winter. When something on the RV quits mid-stay, we come to the campsite and work on it there.

A few private parks rent RV sites as well. Blanco Riverside Getaway has five full-hookup RV sites at the edge of the state park. Miller Creek RV Park sits on US 281, halfway between Blanco and Johnson City, and rents sites by the month.

Most people in the 78606 ZIP area live outside the city limits. The 2020 Census counted 1,682 people in Blanco and 5,875 in the ZIP area. If your fifth wheel sits beside the house or out by the barn, we come to it.

US 281 and the ranch roads into Blanco

US 281 runs north and south through Blanco. Johnson City sits 12 miles north on it, and Twin Sisters sits seven miles south on the Little Blanco River. Blanco was the county seat until 1890, when Johnson City won it in an election. The old stone courthouse on the square now serves as a visitor center.

Loop 163 follows the old route of US 281 south out of town. From the loop, RR 165 runs about 16 miles northeast to US 290. RR 1623 heads west from US 281 in town.

From San Marcos, we come in on RR 12 and RR 32. RR 32 runs about 23 miles from RR 12 to US 281, south of Blanco. RR 2325 is the other way in, from Wimberley up to RR 165. The drive is ours to make, so your RV stays put.

How does Hill Country weather hit an RV in Blanco?

NOAA's averages put the August high near 94 degrees at Blanco. September still brings about 15 days at 90 or hotter. A rooftop air conditioner runs all afternoon in that heat. Our RV AC repair covers control boards and thermostats, and a new unit when the old one is done.

Winter is where Blanco differs most from San Marcos. NOAA's Blanco station sits about 650 feet above the San Marcos station, and its winters run colder. An average January brings about 14 nights at 32 degrees or colder. Three or four nights a year drop to 20 degrees or below.

On those nights, a furnace that will not light, or lights and shuts off, is the common call. RV furnace repair covers the furnace and the regulator and lines that feed it. A hard freeze can also split a water line on an RV left hooked up. Our RV plumbing and water heater repair covers split lines and pumps.

Spring is hail season here. NOAA's storm records from 2000 through 2025 put 87 percent of the area's hail reports in March through May. In May 2024, hail 6.12 inches across fell in Johnson City, 12 miles up US 281. After a storm, RV roof repair covers seam sealing, leak repair, membrane patches and full roof replacement.

When the Blanco River rises

The Blanco River runs about 87 miles to the San Marcos River, inside San Marcos. The town is named for the river, and Spanish explorers named the river for its white limestone. It is usually shallow and held back by low-water dams. The Handbook of Texas also notes that it is subject to flash flooding.

Over Memorial Day weekend in 2015, 10 to 13 inches of rain were reported in southern Blanco County. The weather service logged river rises of more than 20 feet in one hour. Parts of Blanco State Park were heavily damaged, and cabins there flooded.

The National Weather Service keeps a river gauge at Blanco. Flood stage there is 18 feet, when picnic tables and parking areas nearest the river start to flood. At 21 feet, the weather service says Park Road 23 floods.

Flood water can reach the floor, the wiring, the furnace and the water heater. If you carry RV insurance, we do the diagnosis and the write-up for your insurer. You pay the deductible, and we do the repair once the claim is approved.
