Las Cruces RV repair shop with 4.7 stars from 69 reviews, known for honest quotes and quick service.
Both shops here are mobile, meaning they come to your rig instead of you hauling it in. That's a big plus for a furnace problem, since you might not want to drive with a bad heater or deal with a shop waiting room. Recreation Preservation has a 5.0 rating from 25 reviews and handles furnace work along with A/C, fridges, and body repairs. Affordable RV & Marine Service has a 4.7 from 69 reviews and covers furnaces plus roof, electrical, and generator work. Both are set up for warranty jobs, so if your rig is still covered, ask about pre-approval before they start.
A furnace that won't light often comes down to a few common culprits: a dirty burner, a bad igniter, or a sail switch that's stuck. A tech will pull the cover, test the board and the gas valve, and check the exhaust for mud dauber nests or rodent debris. Since both shops here also handle A/C and fridges, they're used to working on the same appliances in tight spaces. Ask if the part is in stock before they come out. If it's not, they may need to order it, and you'll want to know that up front.
Furnace problems tend to show up all at once when the first cold snap hits, and mobile techs get booked fast. Call early in the morning if you can, and have your rig's year, make, and model ready. If you're in a park, let the office know a service truck is coming so you don't get flagged. And if you're handy, check the thermostat and the breaker before you call. Sometimes that's all it is. But if you smell gas, shut it down and call a pro. That's not a wait-and-see situation.
