Big Sky Mobile RV Services

Big Sky Mobile RV Services is a family-owned mobile RV tech business in North Eastern Nevada. It comes to you, so there is no shop to visit: its mobile service truck goes to your campsite, driveway or storage lot. It says it serves most of North Eastern Nevada, including Spring Creek, Elko and Wells, and it does not publish a street address.

It works on AC and furnaces, refrigerators, water heaters, plumbing and tanks, electrical and wiring, preventative maintenance, pre-purchase inspections and walk-thrus, winterizing and roof inspections. Its FAQ also covers roof and window leaks and brake and suspension work, on motorhomes, trailers, fifth wheels and campers. A tech who comes to your campsite can save a tow, which counts when a rig is hard to move.

The mileage charge is 50 for the first 30 miles and 2.00 per mile after, so ask for the whole trip cost before the truck rolls. The hourly rate is listed as 150, billed in 30 minute increments after the first hour, but the wording on that rate is unclear, so confirm it when you call. The after-hours rate for weekends and emergencies is $250 an hour. The winterizing package is $140 and includes up to 2 gallons of RV antifreeze, a roof inspection, and next year's de-winterize and water pressure test. It takes cash, check or credit card. Normal hours are Monday to Friday, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, with weekends and holidays by appointment only. It aims to be on-site "as soon as possible," typically the same day or the next day.

Manny LeProvost is the owner and lead technician, with over 25 years of camping and RVing experience. The page calls him a "Certified RV Technician" and does not name the program behind that title, so ask which one. The warranty is a "90-day warranty on parts and labor." Google rates the business 5 stars from 5 reviews. Ask about licensing and insurance when you call.

This is a good fit for an RV owner around Elko, Wells or Spring Creek who wants a mobile tech at the driveway or storage lot for winterizing, a roof check, or a walk-through before buying a used rig, or for a traveler parked at a campground who needs an AC or refrigerator fixed without a tow.
