RV Annual Maintenance in San Marcos, TX

RV Maintenance · San Marcos, TX

A yearly service visit at your site or our shop

The goal of RV maintenance is to catch small problems before they cut a trip short. Our RV annual maintenance is one yearly service visit for a travel trailer, fifth wheel, motorhome or camper. It covers fluid checks, filter replacements, a tire inspection, roof and seal checks and the appliances and systems.

We do the work where your RV sits: an RV park, a campground, a storage lot or your driveway. You can also bring it to our San Marcos shop. The visit is part of our mobile RV repair in San Marcos and the towns around it.

What We Handle

  • Fluid checks across the RV's systems
  • Filter replacements where a filter is due
  • Tire inspection for tread wear and sidewall cracks
  • Roof and seal checks at the seams and around roof fixtures
  • Appliance checks on the air conditioner and refrigerator
  • Water heater and propane checks
  • 12-volt and 120-volt system checks
  • A written quote for any repair the visit turns up

What happens during an RV maintenance visit?

The visit covers the parts of an RV that wear with time and miles. We check the fluids and replace the filters that are due. The tire inspection looks for worn tread and cracks in the sidewalls.

On the roof, we check the seals along the seams and around each vent and fixture. Sealant that has dried and cracked lets rain into the roof and walls. If a seal has failed, we quote the fix in writing as RV roof repair.

Inside, we run the air conditioner and the refrigerator. We check the water heater and the propane system, along with the 12-volt and 120-volt systems. Anything that needs repair gets explained, and the quote for it goes in writing.

Why Hill Country weather calls for yearly RV service

Hill Country heat is hard on an RV. By federal weather records, San Marcos averages about 117 days a year at 90 degrees or hotter. About 19 of them fall in September, so a spring visit checks the air conditioner before the long run. A failing unit is a job for RV AC repair.

Sun and heat age roof sealant, even on an RV that sits all year in a storage lot. Spring and fall storms can bring hail too. A roof and seal check after a hailstorm finds the damage before the next rain does.

San Marcos averages about 20 freezing nights a year. In a typical year, the first one comes near the end of November. A fall visit checks the furnace and the propane system before then. A furnace that will not light is a job for RV furnace repair.

Mobile RV service at your campsite or our San Marcos shop

We come to the RV wherever it is parked within about 50 miles of San Marcos. That reaches the I-35 corridor between Austin and San Antonio and the Hill Country to the west. Past 50 miles, the trip fee varies. The full list of towns sits on our service area page.

Full-time RVers in the area's RV parks use every system every day. A weekend camper may sit in a storage lot for weeks between trips. Hard use wears an RV down, and so does a long summer parked in the sun.

Some owners would rather drop the RV off. Our San Marcos shop takes it in for the same visit. Call or text (512) 850-7257 to set it up either way.

FAQ

RV Maintenance Questions, Answered

Common questions about rv maintenance around San Marcos and the Hill Country. If yours is not here, call or text and ask.

Call (512) 850-7257

How much does RV annual maintenance cost?
The price depends on the RV and the systems it carries. A fifth wheel with slide-outs and two air conditioners has more to check than a small camper. For a mobile visit, the service call covers the trip within 50 miles of San Marcos. Any repair the visit turns up gets its own written quote.
How often should an RV get maintenance?
Our maintenance visit is yearly. Spring works well, before the air conditioner starts its long summer run. An RV parked all year still needs it, since sun and heat age the roof seals.
How can I tell how old my RV tires are?
The tire identification number on the sidewall ends in a four-digit date code. The first two digits are the week and the last two are the year. A tire marked 1221 was made in the 12th week of 2021. Our tire inspection is part of every maintenance visit, and a tire shop handles new tires.
What happens if the visit finds a problem?
We explain what we found and what the repair involves. The quote for the repair goes in writing. If it needs parts, we order them, and the repair follows once they arrive.
How is RV maintenance different from a repair call?
A repair call starts with something that already quit, like an air conditioner in July. RV maintenance is the planned visit that looks for trouble before that happens. Both start with a service call when we come to you, and any repair gets a written quote.
How do I book RV annual maintenance?
Call or text (512) 850-7257 with the RV type and where it is parked. We set a time for the visit at your site or at the shop. If plans change, we ask for 24 hours' notice to cancel.

Josh replaced the a/c and heater control board in my travel trailer he did an awesome job I highly recommend him

Dustin Wied8 months ago · Google review

We discovered just 4 days before our Thanksgiving trip that our RV slide-out wasn’t working. We contacted Josh, and he came out the very same day to diagnose the issue. He quickly ordered the necessary parts and managed to get everything repaired in time for our trip. Josh was professional, efficient, and highly communicative throughout the entire process, keeping us informed every step of the way. His pricing is very reasonable, and we truly appreciate the extra effort he put in to ensure we were able to leave on time. Highly recommend his RV repair services!

Josh and his team are amazing. He replaced my roof on my wildcat 5th wheel. And once it rained he returned twice to assess any leaks and concerns. He’s my repair guy now! Thank you Josh!!!!
