Jouppi Outdoors RV Repair

Jouppi Outdoors RV Repair is a mobile RV repair business, so it comes to you. Its main offer is "We Come To You." It serves Eastern Tennessee and Western North Carolina, and the towns it names are Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Cosby, Dandridge, Newport, Greeneville, Waynesville and Maggie Valley. It does not publish a street address or a base town, so ask where the tech is coming from and whether it will come to your campsite or driveway.

It describes its work as "fast, quality mobile RV repairs" and says it handles RV repair and maintenance. The one service it spells out is a Winter RV Electrical Readiness Inspection. That covers load testing the batteries, cleaning and inspecting battery cables and connections, checking 12 volt converter or charger output, and checking shore power connections and voltage. A battery can look fine and still fail under load, which is why the load test is worth having before cold weather. No other systems are named, so ask about anything else you need, such as slide-outs or the air conditioner, before you book.

The service call is $150, and that includes travel and a one hour diagnostic. Additional repairs are $130/hr. The winter inspection is also $150, and that price covers the trip charge, the inspection and an estimate for any recommended repairs. Hours, after-hours service, warranty, payment methods, licensing and insurance are not listed. Ask about each of these when you call, and ask about the trip fee first.

The owner, David Jouppi, says he has 20+ years in automotive and electrical repair. Google rates the business 5 stars from 33 reviews. No certifications are listed.

This is a good fit for an owner in the Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge or Waynesville area who wants the electrical system checked before winter, or a traveler in those towns who needs a mobile tech for a battery, converter or shore power problem and wants the service call price before anyone arrives.
