Mobile RV repair serving Port Angeles, WA, rated 4.8 from 38 reviews for furnace, roof and electrical work.
Family-owned RV repair shop in Port Angeles with a 4.7-star rating from 77 reviews.
All three shops on this list handle water heaters, and each also covers fridges, awnings, roof and A/C, so one visit can knock out several problems. Care RV Services holds a 5.0 across 44 reviews and stocks parts, which matters when a control board or element dies. DRs Mobile RV is the warranty-friendly option at 4.8 from 38 reviews. Mobuilt RV Repair has the deepest review count at 77 and a 4.7 rating. Two of the three are mobile, so you may not have to move the rig at all. Ask on the phone whether they carry common water heater parts or need to order them, because that answer sets your timeline.
A water heater that won't light or won't stay lit is often a sail switch, a thermal cutout or a mud dauber nest in the burner tube. Some of that is diagnosable at your site, and mobile techs are built for exactly that. Care RV Services and DRs Mobile RV both list mobile service, so if your rig is set up at a campground off 101 or out toward Elwha, staying put is usually the easier call. A tank that leaks is different. That means pulling the unit, and a shop with a bay and parts on the shelf, like Mobuilt, may be the better fit. Describe the symptom plainly when you call and let them tell you which way to go.
Check the simple things first so you don't pay for a diagnosis you could have done yourself. Confirm the bypass valves are set for use, not winterizing, and that the propane is actually flowing at the stove. If it's an electric heater, look at the breaker and the switch outside under the cover. Note the brand and model number from the data plate. If the rig is under warranty, call the warranty provider for pre-approval before any work starts, and ask the shop whether they handle warranty claims. One of the three here does. Spring and early summer are busy on the Peninsula, so book ahead when you can, and ask whether the part is in stock before you commit to a date.
Three shops and mobile techs are listed here for water heater work, with an average rating of 4.8. Two of the three offer mobile service, so you can often get help where the rig is parked rather than driving it in.
Yes, one of the three handles warranty claims: DRs Mobile RV. If your water heater is still covered, get pre-approval from the warranty provider first and confirm with the shop before any work begins.
Often, yes. Ignition and burner problems are usually diagnosable on site, and two of the three listed businesses are mobile. A leaking tank is the exception, since the unit usually has to come out, which points toward a shop with a bay and parts.
Give them the water heater brand and model, whether it's propane or electric, and what it's doing: no hot water, short cycles, a leak, or a smell. Mention your location and whether the rig is under warranty. That saves a round of questions and helps them tell you if the part is in stock.
