Keep Camping

Keep Camping is a mobile RV tech based in Tryon, North Carolina. It comes to you, setting up at the campsite, the storage lot or wherever the RV sits, and does the repair on site rather than asking you to haul the rig into a shop.

It works on motor homes, 5th wheels, travel trailers, toy haulers, pop-up campers and hybrid campers. The list of systems is long: air conditioners, furnaces, refrigerators, water heaters (tanked and tankless), electrical, slide-outs, awnings, roofing and rubber roof repair, cabinets, wall and ceiling rebuilds, black and grey water tank issues, LP lines and regulators, converters, inverters and batteries. It also handles spring flush-outs and complete winterization. It covers Tryon International Equestrian Center, Mills Springs, Columbus, Rutherfordton, Forest City and surrounding towns, with a service call area it describes as "a 40 mile radius from Forestcity, NC," and says to call for longer distance rates.

The service call is $150 plus tax, and that covers the first 15 minutes of diagnosis or repair. After that it is $150 per hour plus parts and tax. After hours emergency calls run $300 plus tax, with regular hours 8am to 6pm and after hours emergency response from 6pm to 9pm. Hours are listed as Monday through Saturday, 7am to 7pm, with Sundays reserved for emergency calls. It says it is fully insured and has worked in and around Tryon for the last 10 years, run by owners Ross Deprey and Heather Deprey. Google rates it 5 stars from 8 reviews.

This is a good fit for a traveler whose rig breaks down at Tryon Equestrian Center or nearby and does not want to cut a trip short, or an owner in the Forest City area who needs roof, slide-out or appliance work done without towing anywhere.
