Lorenson Industries

Lorenson Industries is an RV repair business based at 461 E Ave A in Salina, Kansas. It has been in business since 1948 and calls itself a "proud family-owned and operated business." It describes its area as "Serving Salina and the surrounding areas." Ask whether it will come to your campsite or driveway, or whether you need to bring the RV to the shop.

It works on motorhomes, campers, trailers and horse trailers. Its listed work covers body work, electrical systems such as wiring, batteries and lighting, plumbing and appliances including refrigerators, HVAC and climate control, preventative maintenance, tow bars and chairlift installations. On horse trailers it services wheel bearings and packing. It also takes insurance work and says it will "work directly with insurance companies" on collision, hail and deer damage, including roof replacements. Wheel bearings are worth checking before a long haul with horses, because a failed bearing is a roadside problem.

Lorenson does not publish a trip fee, hourly rate or diagnostic fee, so ask about the trip fee and any diagnostic charge before you commit to a visit. Its hours are Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm, with Saturday and Sunday closed. It describes no after-hours or emergency service, so a breakdown on a Friday evening at a campground would mean waiting for Monday or calling someone else.

Its main certification is as an "authorized Harmar repair facility," and it offers "expert warranty work on handicapped chairlifts." If your lift is a Harmar, that authorization is the detail that matters. When you call, ask about licensing, insurance and which technicians would do the work. Google rates it 4.8 stars from 87 reviews.

This is a good fit for an owner in Salina or nearby who needs insurance or collision body work coordinated, a Harmar chairlift serviced, or a horse trailer's bearings checked before a long trip.
