Fixin' to RV

Fixin' to RV is a mobile RV tech based in Gulfport, Mississippi. It comes to you, whether that is a driveway, storage lot or campground, provided the RV park allows outside technicians onsite.

It works on refrigerators, air conditioners, water heaters, furnaces, slide-outs, awnings, steps, leveling systems, roofs, generators, drivetrains, propane systems, electrical and plumbing systems on motorhomes and travel trailers, across brands including Coleman, Dometic, Furrion, Norcold, Suburban, HWH, Lippert, Shade Pro, Carefree and MOR/ryde. It covers Gulfport, D'Iberville, Biloxi, Ocean Springs, Long Beach, Pass Christian, Bay St Howard, Waveland, Diamondhead and Wortham, within a standard 25 mile radius of Gulfport, with an additional fee schedule for jobs beyond that.

The trip fee is $75. Hours are "flexible by appointment." The hourly rate, diagnostic fee and minimum charge are not published, so ask about the trip fee and how a job gets priced when you call. If someone else at your campground already called for service, Joe still charges the call fee for a separate look at your rig, since it covers his scheduling time and not just the drive.

Owner Joe Symmes is a Navy veteran who trained at the National RV Training Academy and holds NRVTA Certified RV Technician and Certified RV Inspector credentials, which matter if you want a prepurchase inspection done by someone trained to catch what a casual walk-through would miss. He also offers rescue level work, getting a stuck slide in or jacks up enough to get a traveler back on the road. Google rates the business 5 stars from 120 reviews.

This is a good fit for an owner along the Mississippi Gulf Coast who wants a tech who will work at the campground itself, or a traveler who needs a rig made roadworthy enough to get home.
