Deschenes Auto & RV Center Inc is the local option, rated 4.5 from 75 reviews. It handles A/C, awnings and fridges, and the listing says it works weekends and keeps parts on hand. That matters for a fridge, since the fix is usually a cooling unit, a control board or a burner assembly, and nobody wants to wait a week for a part. Call first and describe the symptom: warm box, freezer still cold, or no flame on gas. It helps them tell you what to bring and whether they can get to it that day.
No mobile fridge techs are listed here, which is common. Refrigerator work tends to be bench work: the unit gets pulled, tested and often replaced, so it goes to a shop. That means you are driving the rig in, or dropping the fridge if you can. Ask about the drop-off plan when you call, and ask whether they can pre-order the part so the rig is not sitting on their lot waiting. If you are living in the RV, say so. Some shops will squeeze you in to keep your home moving. Around Jaffrey, the alternatives are about nine shops in nearby towns. Worth a call if Deschenes is booked out.
Do the free checks first. Make sure the rig is level, since an off-level fridge can quit cooling. Confirm you have propane and good battery voltage, and try both gas and electric modes to see which one fails. Look in the outside compartment for yellow residue, which means the cooling unit is done. Write down the model and serial number from the sticker inside the door. With that in hand, a shop can tell you in one call whether the part is in stock and roughly what the job involves.
One is listed in Jaffrey itself, Deschenes Auto & RV Center Inc, rated 4.5 from 75 reviews. Another nine shops are within reach in nearby towns, so you have options if the local one is booked.
No mobile RV techs are listed for this area. Refrigerator work is usually shop work anyway, since the cooling unit often has to be pulled and tested or replaced. Plan to drive the rig in or drop the fridge off.
The Jaffrey shop is not listed as doing warranty work, so ask before you book. If you have an extended warranty, get pre-approval from the provider first, then confirm the shop will bill them directly. Otherwise you may pay up front and wait on reimbursement.
Spring and early summer fill up fast as people get ready to travel, so call ahead if you can. If the fridge is already warm, call the same day and explain that you are living in the RV or leaving soon. Shops usually try to fit those in.
