Hawkeye Mobile RV Repair

Hawkeye Mobile RV Repair is a mobile RV tech based in Sioux City, IA. It comes to you. Its technicians "come directly to you," whether your rig is parked at home, in a storage lot or at a campground, and it says it serves the surrounding area within 50 miles of Sioux City. The site also lists Tucson, AZ, without saying whether it serves that area, so ask before you count on it.

It works on appliances, awnings, slide-outs, seals, water heaters, plumbing, electrical, A/C, furnaces, skylights and vents, and leveling systems. Its maintenance list adds roof inspection and reseal, winterizing and dewinterizing, A/C cleaning, battery service and fresh water system sanitization, along with safety and maintenance inspections. The site names no RV types or brands, so ask whether your rig is one it has worked on. Having the work done where the rig sits saves a tow, and a rig with a dead slide-out often cannot be moved safely anyway.

Weekday hours run 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. After-hours, weekend and holiday help is limited and depends on availability. No hourly rate, diagnostic fee or trip fee is published, and no warranty on work is stated, so ask about the trip fee and the warranty when you call. The winterizing service does spell out its contents: "Includes up to 2 gallons of RV anti-freeze," plus a follow up checklist report.

Hawkeye lists NRVTA (National RV Training Academy) and RVTAA (RV Technician Association of America) certifications and describes itself as "CERTIFIED & INSURED." Eric Kelley is the named technician, a retired Chief Master Sergeant with aircraft maintenance experience in the Air National Guard, bringing "more than 30 years of maintenance experience." Google rates it 5 stars from 21 reviews.

This is a good fit for an owner within 50 miles of Sioux City who wants winterizing, a pre-season inspection or a roof reseal done where the rig is parked, or for a traveler nearby with a slide-out or A/C problem who can make a weekday call.
