Camping World - Forest Lake
Forest Lake RV dealer and repair shop with 4.5 stars from 1,552 reviews, praised for patient sales staff and no-pressure shopping.
Forest Lake sits up on the north edge of the Twin Cities, close enough to I-35 that a broken rig is a quick detour and far enough out that summer weekends fill the campgrounds fast. Three repair shops work this town, and another twelve are within reasonable driving distance. The local average rating lands at 4.8, so the odds are decent that whoever you call knows what they're doing.

The short answer is three shops, and two of them will handle roof and awning work. Camping World on the north side is the big one, with a 4.5 from over 1,500 reviews and a parts counter that matters when you're chasing a specific sealant or a replacement vent lid. There's a separate Camping World service location listed with a perfect rating from a single review, so treat that number lightly. Metcalf Enterprises has a 4.8 from a dozen reviews, which is the kind of sample size that tells you regulars keep coming back but not much else. Call before you drive out and ask whether the part you need is on the shelf. Two of the three shops say they do warranty work. Get pre-approval from your manufacturer before anyone touches the rig, or you may end up paying out of pocket for a repair that should have been covered.
Two local shops list roof and awning service, which matches what most people roll in with. A roof leak rarely announces itself. You find the soft spot three months later, usually after a hard rain, and by then the damage has spread into the ceiling framing. Get up top with a hose or wait for weather and watch for the drip. Awning arms bend, fabric tears at the seams, and slide-outs stop tracking straight after a season of gravel roads. Those are all fixable, but the parts often aren't in stock locally, so expect a wait if the shop has to order. Ask upfront how long the lead time runs.
No mobile techs are listed in Forest Lake itself, so plan on towing the rig in or driving it. That changes the math on a small job. If it's a dead A/C in July or a slide-out that won't retract, a shop visit beats waiting on a callout that isn't coming. Twelve more shops sit within range, and a few of them may run mobile service, so widen the search before you assume you're stuck. Spring is the busy season here. Book roof and awning work well ahead of Memorial Day, and ask what the shop's turnaround looks like before you drop the keys. A week in the lot is normal in May.
Three shops are listed in Forest Lake, and another twelve are within driving distance. Two of the local shops handle roof and awning work, and two say they do warranty repairs. Call ahead to confirm the shop you pick covers your brand and the specific job you need done.
The local average is 4.8 across the three shops, though the review counts vary a lot. Camping World carries the bulk of the feedback with over 1,500 reviews, while the other two have very small samples. Read the recent reviews rather than just the score.
No mobile techs are listed in town, so plan to bring the rig to a shop. A few of the twelve nearby facilities may offer mobile service, so widen your search if getting the RV to a bay is a problem. Ask about callout fees before you book.
Book well before Memorial Day if you can. Spring is when everyone discovers their roof leak, and shops fill up fast. Ask about turnaround when you call, since a week or more in the lot is common during the rush. Off-season work usually moves quicker.
