RV fridges fail in a few predictable ways: the cooling unit leaks, the control board dies, or the burner needs a clean. Howell's two repair shops both work on fridges, and both also handle A/C and awning repairs, so you can bundle a few fixes if other systems are acting up. Schroeder's Auto and RV Repair has a big review count and offers certified and insurance work, which is handy if a claim is involved. Matt's RV Roofing is smaller but also takes on fridge jobs, and they're open weekends, a plus when the fridge quits on a Saturday. Call ahead and ask if they have the part in stock; a replacement cooling unit can take a day or two to order.
There are no mobile RV techs based in Howell, but a dozen other repair options sit within a short drive. If you're stuck at a campground, ask whether any of those nearby shops make house calls; some do. Otherwise, pulling the rig to a shop is often faster for fridge work because they can test the cooling unit under load. The average rating across the area is 4.9, so you're not scraping the bottom of the barrel. Ask about warranty pre-approval if your fridge is still covered; neither Howell shop advertises warranty work, so check before you book.
Spring and early summer are the busiest times for RV fridge repairs, so book a week or two ahead if you can. Before you go, note whether the fridge works on propane but not electric, or vice versa; that clue saves diagnostic time. If you're handy, check the burner flame and clean the flue, but leave the sealed cooling system to the pros. In Michigan, humidity and road salt aren't kind to RV fridges, so a annual check of the vent and seals is cheap insurance. And if your roof has been leaking, mention it; water intrusion can corrode fridge wiring.
Howell has 2 shops that work on RV refrigerators: Schroeder's Auto and RV Repair and Matt's RV Roofing, LLC. Both also handle A/C and awning repairs.

Yes, especially in spring and summer. Both shops are small, and fridge diagnostics can take time. Calling ahead also lets you ask if the needed part is in stock.
