Tri-State Truck & RV

Tri-State Truck & RV is a truck and RV repair shop based in Chattanooga, Tennessee. It is family-owned, and you bring the RV to its shop at 3500 N. Hawthorne Street.

It works on Class A, Class B and Class C motorhomes, fifth wheels, travel trailers and camper vans. The list runs from full engine replacement and transmission work to water heaters, furnace, LP gas systems, roof air and thermostat, RV awnings, slide-outs and leveling systems, electrical and wiring, and holding tank repair. It services Onan and Generac generators, including fuel system and carburetor cleaning and load testing. It also handles DOT inspections and semi-truck and trailer repair, so the shop is built around heavier rigs as well as RVs.

No hourly rate, trip fee or diagnostic fee is published, so ask about pricing and hours when you call.

Mike Terry is the only RVSA certified technician in the Chattanooga area, which matters because it means interior work like re-wiring, lighting and septic-related issues can be handled at this one shop instead of being sent elsewhere. The business has over 40 years of experience and holds an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. Jim Terry, who founded the business with his wife Laura, has more than 40 years in diesel engine repair himself.

Google rates it 4.8 stars from 123 reviews.

This is a good fit for an owner near Chattanooga or North Georgia who wants both the mechanical and interior sides of an RV handled under one roof, and who is willing to call ahead and confirm the cost before dropping the rig off.
