Your first call is whether the fridge needs to come out. A cooling unit swap or a control board diagnosis often goes faster in a shop with power and tools. Duplechain's Paint & Body Shop handles fridge and awning work and has a 4.6 rating from 52 reviews. The RV Guy is mobile, so he can look at the fridge where it sits. That saves you a tow or a drive if the fix is simple, like a blocked vent or a loose connection. Ask on the phone which kind of work they do on fridges before you commit.
RV fridges are not all the same. Absorption units and compressor units fail in different ways, and some shops only work on one type. Ask if they stock common parts for your model, or if they have to order them. In spring and early summer, schedules fill up, so call ahead. If you are near DeRidder and need mobile service, confirm the travel area and any trip charge. And if your fridge is under warranty, get pre-approval from the warranty provider before any work starts.
Sometimes the fridge is fine and something else is wrong. A weak battery or a failing converter can make the fridge act up on 12-volt power. The RV Guy also handles A/C, generators, chassis and parts, so he can check the whole system. Duplechain's does body and insurance work, which helps if the fridge problem came from a leak or a wreck. Either way, describe the symptoms clearly: does it work on shore power but not propane, or does it not cool at all?
