Progress RV

Progress RV is a repair shop based in Belle Fourche, South Dakota, in the northern plains of the Black Hills. Its address is 18731 US Hwy 85. The listing does not say whether it comes to your campsite or driveway, so ask when you call.

It says it works on "nearly every part of an RV, from roof to floor, inside and out." The list covers air conditioners, furnaces, refrigerators, water heaters, slide-outs, awnings, rubber roofs, propane systems and generators, plus leak testing, sewer odor and hail or accident damage. It works on Class A, Class B and Class C motorhomes, and on horse and utility trailers. Its brands include Dometic, Norcold, Winegard, King, Lippert, Cummins-Onan, ECI Fuel Systems and Renogy.

The shop does not publish a trip fee, an hourly rate or prices for repair jobs, and it does not state after-hours or emergency service. Ask about the trip fee when you call 605.723.1132. It is open Monday through Friday from 8am to 5pm, and on Saturday from 8am to 12pm in summer. In winter it is closed on weekends. The listing does not state a warranty or whether the shop is licensed and insured, so ask about both before work starts.

It calls itself an "authorized repair / service center" for Dometic, Norcold, Winegard, King, Lippert and Lakota Trailer Corporation. That usually means factory training and parts access on those brands, which helps when a fridge or air conditioner needs a specific part. It is also "a member of the National RV Dealers Association (RVDA)." It was founded in 2005 as K&K Kustoms and took the Progress RV name in mid 2019. Google rates it 4.9 stars from 66 reviews. The listing names no individual technician and no tech certification.

It offers Pre-Purchase Inspections for people buying a used RV. A leak at a roof seal or a soft floor can turn into an expensive repair, and a pre-purchase inspection is the time to find it before you sign.

This is a good fit for an owner with a Class A, B or C motorhome or a horse trailer in western South Dakota who wants roof, floor or slide-out work, or who wants a pre-purchase inspection on a used RV before buying it.
