Where to go for A/C work
Four places in town list RV A/C repair, and all four also handle roofs and awnings. Outdoor Recreation Center has a 4.6 rating from 48 reviews and is certified, does bodywork, and is open weekends with emergency service. Central Body Company rates 4.5 from 127 reviews and handles warranty and insurance, plus generators. Camping World on the east side has a huge review count and sells parts. McDowell Mobile RV & Repair is mobile and does warranty and parts. If you want mobile service, call McDowell or Camping World. Mobile techs come to you, which is great for a simple diagnosis but not for a full replacement. Shops have power and parts on hand. Ask if the A/C unit is in stock before you haul the rig in.
Warranty and timing
Three of the four local options do warranty work. If your rig is under warranty, get pre-approval before anyone touches the A/C. That means calling the warranty company with your VIN and the shop's estimate. Central Body Company and Camping World both list warranty service, and McDowell does too. Outdoor Recreation Center does not list warranty, so ask first. Spring and early summer book up fast, so call ahead. If you are handy, check the roof sealant around the A/C gasket before you pay for a diagnosis. A water leak can look like a freon problem.
What to expect
Most A/C problems are dirty filters, a weak capacitor, or a loose connection. A shop will usually check the unit on the roof, test the capacitor and compressor, and look at the thermostat. If the unit is old, replacement may be cheaper than repair. The shops here also do roofs and awnings, so you can get a leak fixed at the same time. Camping World has a parts department, which helps if you need a new shroud or gasket. Reviews vary: the big stores have more reviews, but smaller shops like Outdoor Recreation Center earn high marks from fewer people.
