Route 5 Trailer Repair

Route 5 Trailer Repair is an RV repair business based in Shipshewana, Indiana, at 280 East North Village Drive. It works on RVs, 5th wheels and campers. It does not say whether it comes to your campsite or driveway or whether you bring the rig in, so ask which applies and what area it covers. It describes its work this way: "We service RVs and 5th wheels with dependable workmanship, honest communication, and repairs built to last."

Its work starts with preventative maintenance, including roof inspections, sealant replacement, bearing service and appliance checks. It also covers electrical repair on batteries, converters and shore power systems, and water damage work such as leak detection, soft floor repair, wall repair and resealing. Structural and exterior jobs include siding, trim, slide-outs, doors, awnings and body repair. On the appliance side it lists furnaces, AC units, refrigerators, water heaters and plumbing systems. Storm, accident and insurance repairs appear on the list too. A leak caught early is usually a smaller job than the same leak left alone until the floor under it goes soft.

It lists no trip fee, hourly rate or job prices, so ask about the trip fee and hourly rate when you call. Its hours are listed as 07:00 am to 03:00 pm today, and it welcomes "Walk-ins Welcome" alongside scheduled appointments. The phone number is (574) 350-7754.

The business does not name its technicians, list certifications, state a warranty, or say whether it is licensed and insured. Ask about each before you book. A warranty tells you what happens if the leak comes back after the repair. Certifications show whether the tech has trained on RV systems, which matters on a rig that packs wiring, propane and plumbing into a small space. Licensed and insured status tells you who pays if something is damaged during the work. Its mission statement names "craftsmanship, honesty, and attention to detail," and those are the qualities to test with your questions.

This is a good fit for an owner who can get the rig to Shipshewana, Indiana, with a leak, a roof to reseal, or storm or accident damage to repair, and who wants the trip fee and warranty answered before booking.
