Call ahead to see if the part you need is in stock.
Before you haul the RV to a shop, do a little homework. Note whether the fridge works on propane but not electric, or the other way around. That clue helps the tech diagnose faster. Check the venting and make sure nothing is blocking airflow. If you're handy, look for yellow residue around the burner, a sign of a leak. But don't poke around the gas system if you're not comfortable. Also, ask about warranty pre-approval if your fridge is still covered. Neither shop here advertises warranty work, so a quick call to the manufacturer could save you money.
Spring and early summer fill up the calendar at both shops as people get ready for trips. Book ahead if you can. Weekends are busy, but both shops are open then, which is convenient for working folks. If your fridge dies mid-trip, call first thing in the morning. The sooner you get in, the sooner you're back on the road. And while you're there, have them look at your roof sealant. Axis does roof work, and a small leak can turn into a big problem.
