Where You Are RV Repair

Where You Are RV Repair is a mobile RV tech based in Nebraska, run by JR and Julia Wessel. It comes to you. It says it "Will travel up to 100 miles," but the only town it names is Kanab, Utah, so ask whether it will come to your campsite before you book.

It works on air conditioners, including maintenance and soft start systems, propane or electric water heaters, furnaces, refrigerators, and minor jobs such as door latches and window hardware. It does not name the RV types it works on, so ask about yours. A dead furnace on a cold night or a refrigerator that quits on a hot afternoon cannot wait for a shop visit, and a tech who comes to the rig can save you a tow and a lost week.

No trip fee or hourly rate is published, so ask about both when you call. It does warn that "Emergency Repair Requests will be charged at a higher rate than standard," so ask what that rate is before you agree to an emergency visit. One reviewer says the fee covered the time spent on the job, so ask whether you will pay by the hour or by the job. No hours are listed.

Julia is a registered technician and JR is a certified one, both through the NRVTA, and the couple trained in Athens, Texas. NRVTA training is a real check, but it is not a license or an insurance policy. No license, insurance or warranty is stated, so ask for all three before any work starts. Three reviewers each gave five stars, and one described the couple following them 45 miles into the mountains to make sure a slide-out worked. Call 402-269-8851.

This is a good fit for an RV owner near Kanab, Utah, or a traveler stuck there with a dead furnace, water heater, refrigerator or A/C, who will confirm the trip fee and the emergency rate before the tech arrives.
