Mobile techs, mostly
Both shops listed here are mobile, meaning the work happens where your RV sits rather than in a bay across town. That saves you a tow and a hookup, and it usually means a faster appointment. RVNurse, LLC and Tri-Cities RV Services each cover water heaters along with roof, A/C, fridge, awning and furnace work, so one visit can knock out a couple of small problems at once. Ask on the phone whether the likely part, a heating element, a thermostat or a check valve, is on the truck. If it is not, the tech may need a return trip. Mobile work has limits. A tank swap or a corroded fitting that will not budge may still need a shop with more room and power.
What to check before you call
Do a little homework first and the tech arrives already pointed at the problem. Note whether you are on electric, propane or both, and whether the failure happens on one mode only. That single detail separates a bad element from a gas-side issue. Look at the outside access panel for rust streaks or a puddle, and check the anode rod if yours is reachable. If you winterized and forgot to refill before firing the heater, say so up front. That story usually ends with a cracked tank, and the tech will want to know before ordering anything.
Booking and warranty
Spring and early summer fill up fast around here as people get ready for trips, so call ahead rather than the morning you leave. One of the two shops does warranty work, which matters if your heater is still under an RV or appliance warranty. Get pre-approval from the warranty provider before the visit so you are not stuck paying out of pocket and chasing reimbursement later. Ask about emergency availability if you are mid-trip, since both list it. Kingsport sits close to Johnson City and Bristol, so a tech coming from either direction may have a wider service window than you expect.
