Mobile RV Repair in New Braunfels, TX

RV parks off I-35 and the River Road campgrounds

River Road runs north from New Braunfels along the Guadalupe River toward Canyon Lake. It crosses the river several times, and the crossings work as landmarks. Riverfront campgrounds line the road, like Camp Huaco Springs at the First Crossing. Rio Guadalupe Resort, also on River Road, sells monthly stays to Winter Texans.

Along I-35, travelers stop for a night, and some RVers rent sites by the month. Wherever the RV sits, we come to it and find the fault on site. We put the repair quote in writing and order parts when the job needs them. We work on travel trailers, fifth wheels, motorhomes and campers.

Most of the city lies in Comal County, and part of it reaches into Guadalupe County. The city keeps growing, from 90,403 people at the 2020 Census to 122,492 in the Census Bureau's 2025 estimate. More than six in ten homes here were built in 2000 or later. If your RV is parked at home, we work on it in the driveway.

What do New Braunfels heat and storms do to an RV?

NOAA's normals put the average August high in New Braunfels near 95 degrees. September still averages about 19 days at 90 or hotter. An air conditioner maker's manual says to start the unit early in the morning on days like that. If it still falls behind, we diagnose the unit on the roof and handle RV AC repair at your site.

Spring is hail season, and in March 2022 NOAA's storm records logged 2-inch hail in New Braunfels. A hailstorm, or a limb down on a shady riverfront site, calls for a roof check before the next rain. If the roof is torn, a trailer maker's manual says to cover the tear until it is repaired. We check the seams and vents at the campsite, then do the RV roof repair it needs.

Damaging storm winds peak here in May and June. Awning makers say to roll yours up when wind or long rain is coming, and when you leave the RV. If an arm bends or the fabric tears, we take care of RV awning repair on site.

Life on the Comal and the Guadalupe

The Comal River starts at Comal Springs in Landa Park, the largest springs in Texas. It runs only a few miles before it joins the Guadalupe. Up the Guadalupe, Canyon Dam holds back floods and lets cold water out from the bottom of Canyon Lake. The city keeps lifeguards on its Tube Chute at Prince Solms Park from May to mid-August.

Comal County sits on the Balcones Escarpment, in what the state water agency calls Flash Flood Alley. In 2002, Canyon Lake went over its spillway for the first time, and the river still flooded downstream. If you camp by the river, watch the forecast and move the RV early. Once it sits on a dry site, call or text, and we go over what the water reached.

Winter Texans and cold nights on the river

Winter Texans settle in on River Road for the season, and fly anglers fish the cold water below the dam. NOAA's normals for the New Braunfels station count about 32 nights a year at 32 degrees or colder. In a typical year, the first freeze comes around November 18 and the last around March 8. On those nights, the common call is a furnace that will not light.

We do RV furnace repair where the RV is parked, plus the propane lines and regulator that feed it. Cold also cuts the heat a propane tank delivers, so keep the tanks as full as you can.

In February 2021, a winter storm brought days of freezing rain and snow to Comal County. On a hard freeze, a trailer maker's manual says to open lower cabinet doors so warm air reaches the plumbing. If a freeze leaves a leak or no hot water, we find the cause and quote the fix.
