If your rig is stuck at a campground, a mobile tech saves you a tow. Holt Brothers Mobile RV and Taylor's Mobile RV Service both come to you and handle fridge problems. They can often diagnose a cooling unit or control board on site. If the fix needs a bench test or a part that's not on the truck, you'll likely end up at a shop like Gary's Auto, RV and Brake Inc or Oceanside Truck & RV Repair. Ask upfront whether they carry common fridge parts or if you'll wait for an order. That answer sets your timeline.
A fridge that won't cool isn't always dead. Check that the RV is level, the vent area is clear, and the breakers are on. If it works on shore power but not propane, the issue is likely the burner or orifice. If it works on propane but not electric, look at the heating element. Knowing those details helps the tech bring the right part. Also note the fridge model and year. Shops like Outpost Vans and RV Fun Center work on a range of vans and RVs, and the more you can tell them, the faster the diagnosis goes.
Spring and summer book up fast, so call ahead if you can. Mobile techs often run tight routes, and weekend availability varies. RV Fun Center is the one listed here that does warranty work, so if your fridge is still covered, start there and get pre-approval before any repair. For older units, ask whether a replacement cooling unit makes sense versus a new fridge. Gary's Auto, RV and Brake Inc and Oceanside Truck & RV Repair also handle chassis work, which is handy if you're already in for brakes or steering.
