Cross Country RV Solutions
Certified mobile RV repair in Alvarado, TX, with a 5.0 rating from 116 reviews, specializing in Airstream and all RVs.
Solar on an RV is one of those upgrades that either works quietly for years or gives you fits from the first trip. Alvarado has 2 solar shops, averaging 4.8 stars, and both also handle the systems that share the roof and the wiring. That matters, because a panel install rarely stays a panel install once someone climbs up there and finds a soft spot in the sealant.

Panels get the attention, but the batteries and charge controller decide whether the system is worth having. Tell the shop what you run: a residential fridge, a CPAP, a laptop, a coffee maker. Be honest about boondocking versus hookups, because a system sized for weekend tailgates looks nothing like one built for a month off grid. Ask whether the mounting hardware and sealant are included and what happens to existing roof vents and antennas. Ask if the controller is lithium ready in case you switch later. And ask for the plan on paper before anyone drills.
Nobody should mount panels over sealant that is already failing. Alvarado summers are hard on RV roofs, and a leak under a panel is expensive to chase. Have the roof inspected before the install, and again each spring. If a shop finds a soft spot or cracked lap sealant, fix it then, not after the holes are drilled. With only 2 solar shops in town and 2 more nearby, schedules fill in spring and before winter travel. Call ahead and ask whether the panels and controller are in stock or on order, since a backordered part can hold the whole job.
There are 2 solar shops in Alvarado, and 2 more nearby. Both local shops average 4.8 stars, so the choice comes down to mobile versus shop work and which other systems you need handled at the same time.
No. Neither of the Alvarado solar shops listed here does warranty work, so call your panel or controller manufacturer before the install and ask about pre-approval if you expect a claim on equipment.
One of the two Alvarado shops is mobile, and it is Cross Country RV Solutions, rated 5.0 from 116 reviews. Mobile work suits rigs already parked or in storage. Confirm the tech carries the mounting hardware and sealant needed for your roof type.
Both handle A/C, fridges, awnings, slide-outs, tires and electrical, and solar. Motor Home Specialist also covers generators, leveling, body work and insurance jobs. Bundling a roof reseal or A/C check with the panel install often saves a second appointment.
