Trotter's RV
RV repair shop in Kingman, AZ with a 4.1-star rating from 373 reviews, handling repairs, parts, and warranties.
Kingman sits on old Route 66, and plenty of rigs roll through with solar panels that need mounting or wiring that needs sorting. Three shops around town handle RV solar installation and related electrical work, averaging 4.0 stars. One of them is mobile, so you can skip the drive if your rig is already parked. I've had panels added in worse places, and the key is asking what brand of charge controller they stock before you book.

The three shops in Kingman that do RV solar installation also cover a lot of ground: all three handle fridges, awnings, A/C and electrical, two do roof and body work, and one each does slide-outs and generators. That mix matters because a solar install often starts with a roof inspection. If your roof sealant is cracked, panels go on over a problem. Ask the shop to look at the roof first, especially on a rig that has sat through Arizona summers. Trotter's RV is the biggest name in town with 373 reviews, and it carries parts, so you can often get mounting hardware and a new controller in one stop.
Byrd's Mobile RV & Marine is the one mobile option here, and it also handles warranty and insurance work. That is useful if your panels are already installed and something has failed, or if you are staying at a park outside town and do not want to break camp. For a full new install, a shop with a bay is usually easier because they can pull wire and mount panels out of the wind. Either way, call ahead and ask if the charge controller and panel mounts you want are in stock. Solar parts are not something every shop keeps on the shelf, and waiting on an order can cost you days.
Only one of the three shops here does warranty work, so if your solar system is still under a manufacturer's warranty, confirm that before you drop the rig off. Get pre-approval from the warranty provider if that is required. Spring and early summer fill up fast as travelers pass through Kingman on I-40, so book ahead if you can. Sin City Classic Trailers does electrical and solar along with body work and has no reviews yet, which means you are rolling the dice a little. Ask for photos of past solar jobs and a clear rundown of what is included before you commit.
There are 3 shops in Kingman that do RV solar installation, and 1 of them is a mobile tech. All three also handle electrical work, awnings and fridges, so you can get related fixes done at the same time.
Yes, 1 of the 3 is mobile: Byrd's Mobile RV & Marine. That is handy if your rig is set up at a park and you do not want to move it. For a full new panel install, a shop bay is often easier.
Yes. Panels get mounted through the roof, and old sealant or a soft spot will cause leaks later. Two of the three shops here do roof work, so ask them to inspect and reseal as needed before the install.
Ask what brand of charge controller and panels they stock, whether the parts are on the shelf, and if they do warranty work. Only 1 of the 3 shops here handles warranty, so confirm that first if your system is covered.
