Jackalope Campground
Gravel RV campground with full hookups, clean showers, and an on-site parts and service center.
A warm fridge full of food going soft is the kind of problem that ruins a trip fast, especially when you are parked out past Buffalo or up in the Bighorns. Sheridan has a couple of shops that handle RV refrigerator repair, and both work on cooling units and the parts around them. Neither one is a mobile tech, so plan on driving the rig in. Call first and describe what the fridge is doing.

Sheridan RV shop with a campground, known for helpful staff and quick fixes for travelers.
RV refrigerators tend to fail in a few familiar ways. The cooling unit quits, the burner or heating element stops working, or the control board gets fussy. Sometimes it is nothing more than a dirty flue or a bad thermistor. The two Sheridan shops here both list fridge work, and Dalton's RV Center also handles roof and A/C jobs, which helps if your leak and your fridge problem turned up together. Ask whether they can test the unit on both gas and electric before you haul it in, and ask if the part is in stock. A cooling unit swap is not a same-day job unless the replacement is on the shelf. Sheridan sits close to Decker, Montana and the Wyoming plains, so a lot of rigs here are working hard in summer heat. That makes ventilation and airflow worth checking before you assume the worst.
Spring and early summer fill these calendars, so call ahead rather than rolling in unannounced. Jackalope Campground lists weekend and emergency hours, which matters if your food is thawing on a Saturday. Dalton's RV Center carries 167 reviews and a 4.3 rating, and it handles generator and chassis work too, so you can pair a fridge repair with other maintenance in one stop. Ask what the diagnostic fee covers and whether it goes toward the repair. If you are traveling and short on time, say so. Shops can often tell you over the phone whether the symptom sounds like a quick fix or a full cooling unit replacement, and that saves you a wasted drive from the campground.
Empty what you can into a cooler and shut the fridge off. Check the outside vent for mud dauber nests, and look at the burner area for rust or soot. If the unit works on electric but not gas, mention that, since it points the tech toward the burner and orifice. The average rating across the two Sheridan shops is 4.3, and neither is listed as doing warranty work, so if your rig is still under an appliance warranty, get pre-approval from the warranty provider before anyone starts. Nobody here does mobile calls, which means the rig has to come to the shop. Make sure your battery is charged and the propane is on for testing.
There are 2 shops in Sheridan that list RV refrigerator repair. Both also do awning work, and Dalton's RV Center covers roof and A/C repair as well. Neither is a mobile tech, so you will need to bring the rig to the shop.
Jackalope Campground lists weekend and emergency hours on its features, so a Saturday call is worth trying. Dalton's RV Center does not list weekend hours. Call first and describe the symptom, since a cooling unit replacement usually takes longer than a control board or thermistor swap.
The average rating across the 2 Sheridan shops is 4.3. Dalton's RV Center has 167 reviews at 4.3, and Jackalope Campground sits at 4.4 with 84 reviews. Ratings help, but ask about fridge experience directly when you call.
Neither shop is listed as doing warranty work. If your RV fridge is still covered by an appliance warranty, contact the warranty provider for pre-approval before the shop starts. Otherwise you may be paying out of pocket for a repair the warranty would have covered.
