ALL RV

ALL RV is a service shop based at 155 El Pueblo Dr. in Scotts Valley, California. You bring the RV to the shop, and it does not come to you. It works on trailers and fifth wheels, and it says it services all makes and models. It also runs a full body and paint shop, professional detailing, a retail parts store and RV storage, and it rents El Monte RV motor homes for road trips.

Its listed work covers interior and exterior repairs, electrical installation and repairs, hitch and tow bar work, brake and chassis repairs, roof repairs and replacements, appliances and plumbing, air conditioning and heating, generator repair, and check engine lights. It also lists windshields and glass, fiberglass and welding, RV refurbishing, and heavy duty, diesel and fleet maintenance. Its one priced service is the Seal Tech 430r Leak Finder, at $99.00 for most smaller RVs and $149.00 for most larger RVs, with "some restrictions apply." The test pushes air into the RV through the roof vent, and soapy water shows a bubble at each leak. That is worth doing before a long trip or a roof job.

It publishes no hourly rate, diagnostic fee or after-hours rate, and it names no certifications or years in business. Its hours are Monday to Friday, 8 to 5, and Saturday, 8 to 12, closed Sundays. It says "Our seasoned technicians have the training and skills to diagnose and service your RV," so ask what a repair will cost and which training its technicians hold before you book. A correct diagnosis up front keeps you from paying twice for the same fault.

This is a good fit for a trailer or fifth wheel owner in Scotts Valley who can bring the rig to the shop during its weekday or Saturday morning hours.
