Butler Mobile RV Repair is a mobile RV tech serving Nevada, Placer, Yuba and parts of El Dorado County, California. It comes to you, whether you are at home, in a campground or parked at a storage facility, and no towing is needed. It travels up to 50 miles for jobs, reaching Grass Valley, Nevada City, Truckee, Auburn, Roseville, Marysville, Placerville and the surrounding towns.
Electrical work is its specialty, and it also covers plumbing (not black or gray tanks), roof sealing, slide-outs, solar, leveling systems and jacks, air conditioners, furnaces, awnings, refrigerators (including Dometic and Norcold), cabinetry and interior repairs. It also does RV diagnostics and pre-purchase inspections with a written report, which matters if you are about to buy a used rig and want an honest read on what you are getting into before you sign. It works on motorhomes, fifth wheels, travel trailers, camper vans and cab over campers, handling the house side of the RV rather than chassis, engine or drivetrain work.
A flat fee covers the service call and the drive, though the amount is not published, so ask about it when you call. Hours run Monday through Friday and Saturday, with emergency calls or texts handled outside that. It takes credit cards, cash, check, Venmo and Zelle, with a 3% fee on card payments, and says it is fully insured.
Tim Butler runs it with over 30 years of hands-on RV repair experience, and has lived on the road full time in an RV himself since 2007.
This is a good fit for an owner in the Grass Valley, Auburn or Roseville area who wants someone to come to the driveway or campsite instead of sitting in a dealer's queue, or a buyer who wants a pre-purchase inspection before committing to a used rig.
