Meet Ken

I have been in construction for over 35 years as well as doing vehicle repair and service most of my life. I like the challenge of diagnosing and fixing problems.

It was about 15 years ago when we bought our first 5th wheel toy hauler. I worked on it doing everything from rebuilding the wheel well after a blowout, to installing a satellite dish and a new toilet and flooring in the bathroom. I have always been a perfectionist when it comes to doing anything. I search for the best quality replacement parts, or fabricate them myself. I always look for a way to fix a problem better than new, if possible. With all the repair and upgrades I did on our 5th wheel it was in better than new condition when we sold it. When we out grew the toy hauler, it was time to buy a class A diesel pusher and trailer to haul our toys. I soon learned that there was a lot more to service and maintain in a class A diesel pusher. After reading all of the horror stories about people having their RV’s worked on by unqualified so called “Tech’s”,  I wasn’t about to pay someone to screw up my coach. Personally, I needed to know how to fix everything while out on the road and camping. A lot of times, there’s no RV repair shop even close to where we camp, so you have to fix it yourself. With purchasing any used RV,  you need to have a baseline on everything that requires service.  That means changing all of the fluids and filters in everything! Engine oil and coolant, hydraulic oil, transmission fluid, generator oil and coolant, water system filters, and on our coach, servicing the Aqua Hot system.  After the baseline was established, it was time to fix what the previous owner had neglected over the years.  Then it was on to replacing the cooling unit on the back of the Norcold refrigerator to prevent a fire caused by the terribly designed absorption cooling system. After the constant concern for fire, I finally eliminated it by swapping the Norcold out for an all electric residential unit.

As most RV owners know, there is always a “Fix it” list. Essentially an RV is a house on wheels. The beating they take going up and down the road will rattle everything apart. To compound this, RV manufacturers cut a lot of quality corners to keep them light.

With working on my own trailers and RVs I learned a lot and enjoyed the challenge of figuring out how to fix the problems so much I decided to move from construction into starting my own business in RV repair and service. It’s been a great journey so far and I look forward to helping you with your RV repair and service!
