Four of the seven listings offer mobile service, which matters when your rig is parked and the fridge is full of food. A mobile tech comes to your site, but they can only do so much from a truck. Pulling a cooling unit often needs a shop bay and a hand with the heavy lifting. Ask on the phone which kind of job yours is. If you are at a campground near Portsmouth or Newport, a mobile call saves you a tow. If the fridge needs to come out, book the shop. Weekend hours show up on a few of these listings, so ask before you assume Saturday is open.
Have the fridge model and year ready, plus what it is doing. Not cooling on propane but fine on electric points one direction. Frost on the fins or a yellow residue near the burner points another way. Those details help a tech decide whether to bring a control board or a whole cooling unit. Three of the seven listings say they do warranty work, so if your fridge is still covered, ask for pre-approval before anyone touches it. Parts availability is the other half of the wait.
