Mark Townsend's RV Service Inc.

Mark Townsend's RV Service Inc. is an RV repair shop based in Hemet, California. It works on RVs brought to its shop, and it also offers select mobile service for appointments and emergencies, so you can bring the rig in or ask about a visit to your site.

In the shop, it handles appliances, generators, AC service and replacement, slide-outs, roofs, jacks and levelers, select remodels, satellite installs, awnings, wheel packs, brake inspections, axle flips, trailer brake replacements, fabrications, batteries, electrical work, inverters and converters, solar install, and tank repair and replacement. Technicians are trained and certified on Arixcel, Dometic, Norcold, Suburban and Lippert components, which matters if your fridge or furnace is one of those brands and needs a repair that keeps the factory warranty intact.

The hourly labor rate is $175 an hour with a minimum of one hour. Mobile visits carry a service call fee, with the amount depending on the area, so ask what it runs for your location when you call. Published package prices include an appliance service at $400 for two or fewer AC units, AC service at $310 for two or fewer units, an annual generator service at $290, and a wheel pack or brake inspection at $250 per axle, parts separate. It is open Monday through Friday, 8am to 4:30pm, and Saturday by appointment only.

Mark Townsend started as a solo mobile RV technician and has run this family owned shop since 2012, with over 20 years of RV repair experience behind it. It works with most extended warranty and insurance companies, which can save you from paying a covered repair out of pocket.

This is a good fit for an owner near Hemet or San Jacinto who wants a shop with published prices for common jobs, and for a traveler nearby who needs an appliance, generator or slide-out fixed and wants to ask about a mobile visit before towing the rig in.
