Hanover Truck & RV Collision & Repair Center

Hanover Truck & RV Collision & Repair Center is a collision and repair shop based at 1083 Carlisle Street in Hanover, Pennsylvania. It started in 2005 as RMS of Hanover, first focused on truck repair and body shop work, and took its current name in 2020. The business describes itself as "the area's premier provider of collision repair and maintenance for RVs, Campers, Trailers, and Motor Homes in addition to Commercial Trucks." Ask whether it will come to your campground, driveway or storage lot, because it does not say.

For RVs, it works on roofs and siding, fiberglass, water damage from leaks, storm and collision damage, awnings and body panels. It also handles winterization, generator service, electric brake service, and refrigerator, A/C, furnace and water heater repairs and replacement. Its basic maintenance includes oil and filter changes, detailing and state inspections for trucks, RVs and trailers. It names Dometic, Lippert, Sikkens, U-Tech and DuPont (now Axalta) as brands it works with. The RV types listed are Class A, B and C motorhomes, fifth wheels, travel trailers, folding camping trailers, truck campers, and buses and vans.

It publishes no trip fee, hourly rate or job prices, so ask about the trip fee and the cost of the job before you commit. Its own pitch is "More Reasonable Prices than Your Dealer," which is worth checking against a written estimate. Hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00AM to 4:30PM, and it is closed on weekends. It does not state any after-hours or emergency service.

The shop is an authorized Dometic and Lippert repair facility, an authorized Blue Ribbon Repair Facility and a certified commercial fleet refinisher. An authorized repair facility is approved by the manufacturer to do its repair work, which matters when a Dometic or Lippert part is failing. It lists a "Recreational vehicle Extended Warranty" among its RV services, so ask what that covers. It has been in business for over 30 years, and it is family-run under Cecil Snyder with his two sons. Dave Yelton, a service technician, previously spent 25 years as a mechanic. Google rates it 4.5 stars from 57 reviews, under the category RV repair shop. The phone number is 717.637.4990.

This is a good fit for an RV owner in or near Hanover, Pennsylvania who needs collision, fiberglass, roof or body work on a motorhome, camper or trailer, and who can plan around weekday hours and ask about the trip fee before the RV is booked in.
