Prime RV Services

Prime RV Services is a mobile RV repair business based in Festus, Missouri, and it also handles RV inspections. It comes to you, travelling up to 50 miles from Festus to cover the Greater St. Louis area, whether the rig sits at a campground, a storage lot or your own driveway.

It works on A/C systems, refrigerators, furnaces, water heaters, slide-outs, awnings, generators, hitchwork, hydraulics, plumbing, electrical, roofs, batteries and brake and axle service on travel trailers and fifth wheels. It also does winterizing and de-winterizing, so a camper can be put away for the season or pulled out and checked before the first trip. Beyond repair work, it offers RV inspections for buyers and sellers, a step worth taking before handing over money on a used rig, since a lot of common problems do not show themselves to a casual walk-through.

No hourly rate, diagnostic fee or flat prices are published, so ask about the trip fee and what a given job runs when you call. Hours are Monday through Friday, 9 to 5.

Owner Jeremy Parker started in the RV industry in 2004 and is an accredited Level 2 inspector certified by NRVIA, the organization that trains and certifies RV inspectors nationally. Tech Tristen Walsh rounds out the crew. The business describes itself as "a fully licensed and insured mobile RV repair service." Google rates it 4.9 stars from 123 reviews.

This is a good fit for an owner near St. Louis who wants repair work done without hauling the rig in, or a buyer who wants a trained inspector to go over a used or new RV before closing the deal.
