Don’t trust your rig to just anyone — here’s what to look for
Your RV isn’t just a vehicle — it’s your home on wheels. So when something goes wrong, you want a technician who knows more than just engines and tools. You want someone who understands the systems unique to RVs, values honesty, and shows up prepared to do the job right.
But how do you know whom to trust?
Here’s what to look for when choosing an RV technician — whether you’re in Orange County or on the road.
1. Look for RV-Specific Certifications
Not all mechanics are trained for RV systems
RVs are a unique blend of electrical, plumbing, propane, HVAC, and automotive components. That’s why general auto mechanics often aren’t the best fit for RV work.
What to look for:
- RVTAA Certification (Recreational Vehicle Technician Association of America)
- RVIA/RVDA training credentials
- Verified experience with rooftop ACs, inverters, slide-outs, and more
At Murphy Mobile RV Repair, Paul is a RVTAA Certified RV Technician (#3870) — trained specifically to work on all major RV systems.
2. Choose a Mobile Technician for Maximum Convenience
Skip the shop — let the expert come to you
Why waste time towing your RV to a dealership or waiting in a service line when you can get expert help right in your driveway?
A qualified mobile RV technician brings the tools, parts, and experience directly to your location — whether you’re at home, at a campground, or stuck on the side of the road.
In Orange County, Murphy Mobile RV Repair offers full on-site service across a 50-mile radius of Fullerton, CA.
3. Ask About Transparency and Pricing
No surprises. No pressure. No guesswork.
Trustworthy technicians will:
- Clearly explain what they’re doing
- Walk you through the problem before beginning repairs
- Share rates and part costs upfront
- Only recommend what you truly need
Our pricing is simple: $75 service call + $150/hour, with all costs approved before work begins. No surprises. No fluff.
4. Read Reviews (The Real Ones)
Happy customers tell the story
Look beyond just star ratings — read what people actually say. Look for:
- Mentions of showing up on time
- Clear communication
- Clean, professional work
- Follow-up and support
Reviews that talk about integrity, professionalism, and helpfulness say more than technical jargon ever could.
5. Look for Breadth of Services
The more they know, the better they can spot hidden problems
An experienced technician won’t just fix what’s broken — they’ll often catch what’s about to break. That can save you from bigger headaches down the line.
