Mike Thompson's RV Service, Body, & Parts
Colton RV repair shop with factory-trained techs, 4.5 stars from 169 reviews, handling roof, AC, awning and body work.
Colton sits where the 10 and 215 meet, and the inland heat is hard on fabric. If your awning screams on the way out or your slide-out has stopped moving, you have three shops in town that handle that work, and two of them take warranty claims. Six more are a short drive away. Here is how to pick and what to expect.

Three Colton shops list awning repair, and all three also do roofs, which matters more than it sounds. A slide-out that drags or an awning arm that sags often traces back to a seal or a soft section of roof deck letting water in. Mike Thompson's RV Service, Body, & Parts carries the strongest rating at 4.5 from 169 reviews, and it does body and chassis work plus parts, so a bent awning arm or a torn slide topper is in its lane. Camping World - Colton (4.1 from 459 reviews) and Camping World RV Service - Colton (3.8 from 736) both handle awnings and roofs and stock parts. Two of the three accept warranty work, so call with your coverage before you drop the rig.
No mobile techs are listed in Colton itself. If your awning is jammed out and you cannot drive it, that means a call to a mobile service in a nearby city or a careful manual retract before you move. For most people a shop visit is the better route anyway. Slide-out motors and awning fabric swaps need a bay, a lift and a parts counter, and you want the part on the shelf before the appointment, not after. Ask when you book whether the specific fabric, arm or motor is in stock. Colton's shops share a parts supply with the wider Inland Empire, so a common awning is usually a quick fix and an odd color or size is a wait.
Vinyl and acrylic awning fabric takes a beating in this part of California. Sun rot and stitching failure show up as small tears near the roller tube, so check that edge before a trip. Clean the fabric, let it dry fully, and roll it up dry. A damp awning rolled for a week is how you get mildew that never comes out. On slide-outs, look at the seals and the roof line above them. Water that gets behind a seal can soften the deck, and then the slide binds. If a shop finds soft decking under warranty, get pre-approval from the warranty company before work starts so you are not stuck in the middle. Book spring service early; everyone wants their rig checked before summer.
There are 3 shops in Colton that list awning repair, and 6 more within a short drive. All 3 local shops also handle roofs, which helps when the slide-out problem starts with a leak.
Yes, 2 of the 3 Colton shops accept warranty work. Call first with your policy and the repair you need, and ask the shop to get pre-approval before anyone starts tearing into the awning or slide.
No mobile techs are listed in Colton itself. If the awning or slide-out is stuck out and the rig cannot be driven, look for a mobile service in a nearby city, or retract it manually per your owner's manual before moving.
Look at the fabric edge near the roller tube for tears and loose stitching, and test the arms for sag. Tell the shop the fabric make and size when you book so they can confirm the part is in stock.
