McGeorge's RV - A Camping World Company
Camping World RV dealer and repair shop in Ashland with roof, AC and awning service, plus a large sales floor.
Ashland winters are mild by Virginia standards, but a hard freeze still splits water lines and ruins pumps, and that is the repair nobody wants in March. Two shops in town handle RV winterization, and both also do warranty work. One has a long review history; the other is newer on the review front. Either way, book before the first cold snap, because everybody calls at once when the forecast turns.

Winterizing is mostly about water. The fresh tank gets drained, the lines and water heater get blown out or filled with antifreeze, and the traps and holding tanks get attention too. Ask the shop to check the low-point drains and the city water inlet while they are in there, because those are common leak spots. Two Ashland shops list winterize among their services, and both also list roof work, so you can pair a sealant check with the plumbing. A roof leak found in November is a much cheaper fix than one found after a snow load sits on it. If your rig has a washer or an ice maker, say so when you book. Those lines take extra time and often get missed.
The smart move is to schedule winterization before the first hard freeze is in the forecast, not after. Shops fill up fast once the overnight lows start dropping, and parts like water heater bypass valves or antifreeze can run short at the counter. Call and ask whether they keep the parts in stock or order them. Both Ashland shops handle warranty work, so if your rig is covered, get pre-approval from the warranty provider before the work starts. That one call saves arguments later. If you store the RV on your own property, plan a short shakedown trip after the work to confirm nothing drips.
None of the winterization shops listed here are mobile techs, so plan to bring the RV in. That is fine for most jobs, since winterizing goes quickly once the bay is free. It also gives the shop a chance to look at the roof, the slide-out seals and the generator while the rig is on site. Ask for a written rundown of what was drained and what was filled. Owners who do their own winterizing often skip the water heater bypass or forget the outside shower, and that is where the spring repair bills come from. A shop visit is cheap insurance against a split line.
There are 2 shops in Ashland that list RV winterization, and another 4 in the surrounding area. Both Ashland shops also handle roof, fridge, awning, slide-out and generator work, so you can bundle several jobs into one visit.
Yes. Both of the Ashland winterization shops list warranty work as a feature. Get pre-approval from your warranty provider before the appointment so the shop knows what is covered and you avoid a surprise bill.
Book before the first hard freeze shows up in the forecast. Once the cold arrives, the shops fill quickly and parts can sell out. A call in early fall usually gets you a better slot than one made during the first cold week.
Ask the shop about a dry winterizing setup or keeping some heat on instead of full antifreeze. If you plan trips, tell them at booking so they can leave the water system usable and protect what needs protecting.
