Happy Trails RV Service

Happy Trails RV Service, LLC is a mobile RV tech based in Ocala, Florida. It comes to you, and it says it can meet you "anywhere within our RV service area," even "at highway rest areas or a parking lot." Its listed area is Ocala and Marion County, plus towns such as The Villages, Leesburg, Inverness and Dunnellon.

It works on refrigerators, water heaters, furnaces, roof air conditioning, generators, 110 and 12 volt electrical, plumbing, awnings, slide-outs, stoves, ovens and rain leaks. It serves Class A and Class C motor homes, travel trailers, 5th wheels and campers. It also does winterizing, pre-trip service and pre-purchase inspections. Its repair work "focuses on the Recreational Vehicle specialties rather than what is under the hood and vehicle mechanics," so keep the tow vehicle's engine for another shop. Working at your campground matters because a rig with a dead slide-out often cannot be moved, and a tech who comes to it saves a tow.

No trip fee, hourly rate, diagnostic fee or minimum charge is published, so ask about the trip fee when you call 352-577-2212. Repair work is discussed first: "Any and all repair service will be discussed with the RV owner before any work is done." Its 125 point inspection "Does not include parts or labor for repairs," so ask what a fix would cost before you approve anything. Its on-call service is "available 7 days a week."

Its certifications are a "Certified RV Service Technician based through RVTC" and "Florida LP Certification and Licensing." LP is propane, the fuel behind many RV furnaces, water heaters and ranges, and a leak is not a repair to guess at, so ask for that credential by name. Warranty work is offered: "We perform warranty work," and new parts "come with Manufacturer’s Warranty." It shows RVDA and RVIA badges, which are logos rather than stated credentials, so ask what they reflect. Years in business, owner names and insurance are not published. Google rates it 4.3 stars from 125 reviews.

This is a good fit for an owner around Ocala who wants a tech to come to the driveway, storage lot or campground for a propane, refrigerator or roof job, or for a traveler parked at a campground or rest area with a slide-out or air conditioner that quit.
