Mobile RV Repair in Camas, WA

Mobile RV service in Camas and Washougal

Camas and Washougal sit where SR-14 leaves the Vancouver suburbs and heads into the Columbia River Gorge. Lacamas Lake, the Washougal River and the Gorge trailheads are minutes away, and a lot of RVs live here in driveways, side yards and storage lots off SR-14 and SR-500, ready for trips east up the Gorge or north to Mount St. Helens. Shop bays in the Vancouver area book out, especially in spring and right before the first freeze.

We come to you instead. If you searched for mobile RV repair near me from Camas or Washougal, we handle generators, fridges, furnaces and water heaters, dead batteries, shore power faults, water pumps and freeze damage, plus the power and connectivity upgrades: lithium, solar and Victron systems, and Starlink, Peplink and weBoost.

United Mobile RV LLC is dealership-trained, 11+ years: a Victron Energy Certified Installer, a weBoost Certified Installer/Reseller, a Dometic Professional and a Peplink Certified Associate.

RV parks and campgrounds near Camas

We’re not affiliated with any of these parks. They’re places local RVers stay, and we’ll meet you at your site where the park allows outside technicians:

• Beacon Rock State Park: about 25 miles east on SR-14; the Woodard Creek campground has 5 full-hookup sites for rigs up to 40 feet.
• Vancouver RV Park: in Hazel Dell, with full-hookup back-in and pull-through sites and 30/50-amp service.
• Big Fir Campground and RV Park: in Ridgefield, with full hookups and 20/30/50-amp service, open year-round.
• Battle Ground Lake State Park: northeast of Battle Ground, with 6 water-and-electric sites for RVs up to 35 feet.
• Driveways and storage lots: across Camas and Washougal, where most local rigs spend the off-season.

Most of our Camas work is at home or in storage, so let the facility know an outside technician is coming and send us the space number.

RV life around Camas: Gorge wind, ice storms and wet winters

Camas and Washougal sit right at the mouth of the Gorge, and they feel it. When cold air from east of the Cascades pours down the river, east wind hits this end of Clark County first and hardest. Some winters that brings freezing rain and ice storms, downed branches and power outages.

For RVs in storage that means frozen water lines, split fittings and pump heads, and batteries that die when the shore power drops or a small parasitic load runs them flat. Lithium batteries shouldn’t be charged below freezing, so a monitor and low-temperature protection matter here.

The rest of the winter is wet and gray, like the rest of western Washington. Roof seals dry out over summer and leak in the first fall rains, and rigs parked under trees collect needles and moss.

Summer trips head east on SR-14 into the Gorge wind, north on I-5 to Mount St. Helens, or out to the coast. Long days of wind and grades load the tires, brakes and generator.

RV repairs we do most around Camas

The calls we get most from Camas and Washougal, with a short explanation of each:

• Winterizing and freeze damage. We winterize with a compressed-air blow-out, RV antifreeze where you want it, and a water heater bypass, and we fix the split fittings, cracked pump heads and leaking valves that a missed freeze leaves behind. East-wind freezes hit Camas and Washougal before the rest of the county, so we winterize earlier here. See plumbing and our winterization guide.
• 12V and shore power faults. Ice-storm outages and long house cords are hard on shore power plugs, converters and batteries. We trace dead outlets, tripping GFCIs, burnt shore power plugs, converters that stopped charging and parasitic draws that flatten batteries in storage. See RV electrical.
• Water leaks, soft floors and delamination. West of the Cascades, water is the number one enemy of an RV. Failed sealant around roof vents, the AC, clearance lights and window frames lets water into the walls, and by the time you see a stain or a soft spot it has been leaking a while. We trace leaks, reseal, and use thermal imaging and moisture readings to map how far the damage goes. We check the whole roof before the fall rains, plus anything the wind may have loosened. See roof and seals.
• Refrigerators. Absorption fridges that cool on propane but not electric (or the reverse), fridges that won’t light, cooling-unit failures, and residential fridges that shut off because the inverter or batteries can’t keep up. As a Dometic Professional we work on Dometic units every week, and we troubleshoot Norcold and residential fridges too. Fridges that quit on the first warm trip of spring are a regular call. See our Dometic fridge guide and electrical and appliance repair.
• Generator service and repair. We service and repair Onan, Generac and Kohler RV generators: oil, filters and plugs, plus surging, no-start and shut-down-under-load problems. Gas units that sit for months often surge because old fuel varnishes the carburetor; running the generator under load about once a month helps. Generators that sat all winter usually need fresh fuel and a carburetor cleaning before the first trip. See generator service.
• Victron, lithium and solar. As a Victron Energy Certified Installer we install and service MultiPlus inverter/chargers, SmartShunt monitors, Cerbo GX and VRM monitoring, DC-DC charging and solar. We add low-temperature charge protection and battery monitoring so a lithium bank protects itself in storage. See Victron systems.
• LP gas, furnace and water heater. Furnaces that click but won’t light, water heaters that fault out, regulators that freeze up or leak, and LP detectors past their date. We leak-test and pressure-check before we call anything fixed. Furnaces that won’t light on the first cold night usually need a cleaning, an igniter or a sail switch adjustment. See LP gas.

How a mobile visit works

1. Call, text or book online with the year, make and model, what the rig is doing, and where it’s parked in Camas or Washougal. Photos or a short video help.
2. We ask a few questions first. Some problems are a setting or a tripped breaker, and we’ll tell you if a remote session can sort it out without a trip.
3. If we need to come out, we set a day and a time window. Let the park office or storage facility know an outside technician is coming.
4. On site we test before we replace: meter readings, load tests, and thermal imaging where it helps. You get a plain explanation and a quote before any repair starts.
5. Most repairs are finished on the same visit. If a part has to be ordered, we tell you what and how long, then come back to finish.
