J & D RV Service is open weekends and does warranty work, so check there first if your heater is under warranty. RV Doctors takes insurance jobs if a leak caused collateral damage.
A water heater that won't light or trips the breaker is often a quick fix for a mobile tech. They can test the board, the igniter, and the thermostats on site. If the tank itself is cracked or the unit needs to come out, a shop with a lift and parts on the shelf is usually faster. Ask if the replacement part is in stock before you tow the rig anywhere. In spring and summer, book a week or two ahead for mobile calls, and confirm the tech covers your part of Maine. Coastal and southern Maine have more choices; farther north, you may wait longer for a mobile visit.
Note your heater's make and model, and whether it runs on propane, electric, or both. Check the basics first: the breaker, the switch inside the RV, and the outside shower switch if you have one. If you winterized and forgot to bypass the water heater, you may have a tank full of antifreeze or a burned-out element. Tell the shop what you've already tried. If you're under warranty, ask for pre-approval before any work starts, and keep the receipt. For older units, ask if parts are still available; sometimes a new heater is cheaper than chasing a discontinued board.
