What the local options look like
Tappahannock is small, so the repair map is thin. One shop here works on RV fridges, and it happens to be the same place that handles A/C and awnings, which saves you a second trip if more than one thing is acting up. Terry's RV & Automotive holds a 4.9 across 15 reviews, and the listing shows it keeps parts on hand, so ask whether the part your fridge needs is in stock before you hitch up and drive over. Eight more shops sit within reach if the local one is booked. Call ahead and describe the symptom: not cooling on gas, not cooling on electric, or a fridge that works and then quits. That detail tells a tech more than the model number alone.
Diagnose before you haul
RV fridges fail in a few predictable ways, and a quick check at the campground can save you a wasted trip. Confirm the rig is level, since absorption units need it. Check that the breaker or fuse for the fridge is good, that the propane is turned on and the burner area is clean, and that the vent behind the fridge isn't blocked or full of mud dauber nests. If it cools on electric but dies on gas, you've narrowed it to the burner or gas side, and that is useful information for the shop. If it cools on neither, the cooling unit itself may be the issue. Either way, write down what you tested and what happened.
Shop work, warranty and timing
A fridge is rarely something a mobile tech fixes in your site, so plan on dropping the RV or pulling the fridge. Ask how long the diagnosis takes and whether they want the fridge running on arrival or cold off. If your rig is under an extended warranty or a service contract, call the plan first and get pre-approval before the work starts, or you may pay and chase reimbursement later. Spring and early summer are the busy stretch for cooling problems, so book as soon as you notice trouble. A fridge that is limping along rarely fixes itself, and a week of waiting in July is worse than a call in April.

Questions people ask
How many RV refrigerator repair shops are in Tappahannock?
There is one shop in Tappahannock that does RV refrigerator repair. If it is booked or you want a second opinion, eight more repair options are within reach of town, so you are not stuck with a single choice.
What rating does the local shop have?
Terry's RV & Automotive carries a 4.9 rating from 15 reviews. It also handles RV A/C and awning work, and the listing notes it has parts, which helps when a fridge needs a part that is not on the shelf everywhere.
Should I try anything before booking a repair?
Level the rig, check the fridge breaker or fuse, confirm the propane is on and the burner area is clean, and make sure the outside vent is clear. Note whether it cools on electric, on gas, or neither. That one detail helps the shop guess the problem before you arrive.
Will a mobile tech come to my campsite for a fridge?
Fridge work usually happens at a shop, since the cooling unit and burner need room to be pulled and tested. None of the mobile techs listed here are flagged for fridge repair, so plan to drop the RV off and ask about turnaround time when you call.
