RV Winterization in East Montpelier, VT
Vermont winters don't ease in, and an RV sitting through one unprepared pays for it in spring. In East Montpelier, two shops handle winterization, both offer warranty work, and the average rating across them sits at 3.9. That's a small pool, so call early rather than the week the first hard freeze shows up in the forecast.

Blue Compass RV Vermont Service & Parts
East Montpelier RV shop for roof, AC, awning and slide work, with parts counter and mixed reviews on service follow-through.
Who does the work here
The two shops in town are Mekkelsen RV Sales & Rentals and Blue Compass RV Vermont Service & Parts. Both list winterize among their services, and both do warranty work, which matters if your rig is still covered and you want the job approved before anyone touches a line. Mekkelsen carries a 4.2 rating over 119 reviews. Blue Compass sits at 3.6 across 37. Between them they also handle roof, A/C, fridge and awning work, and Blue Compass adds slide-out and tire service. If your list runs long, one stop can cover more than the antifreeze.
Book before the cold sets in
Winterization is a short appointment that saves a long repair bill, so don't let it slide to the last warm weekend. Ask whether the shop blows out the lines, adds antifreeze, and checks the water heater bypass, and confirm they have the right antifreeze in stock that day. If you're also chasing a roof leak or a weak fridge, say so when you book. Both shops work on those systems, and combining jobs saves you a second trip down the road. Ask about warranty pre-approval up front if your RV is covered.
What to check yourself first
Before you drop the rig off, walk the roof seams and around vents and skylights. A small crack you find now is a cheap fix next to a soaked ceiling in April. Drain and flush the tanks, and empty the fridge so nobody has to work around your groceries. Note anything odd, like a furnace that short-cycles or a slide-out that drags, and mention it. The shops here cover roof, A/C, fridge and awning work, so a short written list gets more done in one visit than three separate calls.
