Carefree Trails

Carefree Trails is a mobile RV repair, service and inspection business based in Hopland, California. It comes to you, working at the campsite, your home or a storage lot, so a rig with a bad slide-out or a leaking roof never has to be moved to get fixed.

It works on awnings, air conditioners and furnaces, appliances, electrical systems, plumbing, slide-outs, roof and window sealing, and stabilizer and leveling systems. Specific jobs listed include roof sealant application, battery testing and replacement, water heater repair and replacement, grey and black tank clean-out, RV window repair and replacement, and full seasonal winterizing and de-winterizing, including draining and bypassing water systems. It also offers inspections at three levels, basic, standard and full, covering the roof, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, appliances, chassis and slide-outs, with a written report of findings, useful before buying or selling a rig or before a long trip. It serves Mendocino and Lake Counties, naming Ukiah, Hopland, Redwood Valley, Willits and the Mendocino Coast.

No hourly rate, trip fee or diagnostic fee is published, so ask about the trip fee when you call. It lists emergency assistance as available for after-hours problems.

The technician holds NRVIA inspector certification and RVTAA technician certification, which matters most for the inspection work, since an NRVIA inspection follows a set standard rather than one person's habits. Google rates it 5 stars from 21 reviews.

This is a good fit for an owner in Mendocino or Lake County who wants a service call that comes to the driveway or storage lot instead of a shop wait, or a traveler who needs a pre-purchase inspection or seasonal winterizing done on site.
