Oregon Light Truck & RV

Oregon Light Truck & RV is a repair shop based in White City, Oregon, in Southern Oregon. You bring your RV to its shop at 8632 Crater Lake Hwy. The shop does not come to your campground or driveway. It calls itself "Family owned and operated for over 30 years."

For motorhomes, it says: "We are a Workhorse, Ford Motorhome, Spartan, Newmar, Source Engineering, and Monaco authorized repair facility." Authorized shops usually have factory training and factory parts for their brands, so that matters if your rig is one of them. Most of the listed work is automotive: air conditioning, heating and cooling, electrical, brakes, engine, transmission, and steering and suspension. No slide-outs, refrigerators, generators or roofs are named, so ask about those first.

It publishes no hourly rate, prices or hours, so ask for a price before you leave the rig. Book through the service desk at 541-830-8005. Its contact page says you "will hear back within 48-72 hours," so call if your trip is on a deadline. It offers "free shuttle service to anywhere within a five mile radius," and it states no wider service area, warranty, or licensing and insurance, so ask about each.

It says "All of our mechanics are ASE certified." ASE is a national certification for automotive technicians, and no RV-specific certification is named. Dave Elder, who founded the shop in 1990 with Scott Downing, still oversees the mechanics. Google rates it 4.6 stars from 136 reviews.

This is a good fit for an owner with a Workhorse, Ford Motorhome, Spartan, Newmar, Source Engineering or Monaco motorhome who needs engine, brake, electrical, transmission or steering work at a shop that names their make. It is a weaker match for a traveler who needs a slide-out or refrigerator fixed where the rig sits.
