About Sebring Mobile RV Repair

Sebring Mobile RV Repair is an independently operated mobile repair service covering Sebring and Highlands County. Our techs repair the house side of RVs, roofs and sealant, rooftop ACs, slide-outs, plumbing and water heaters, refrigerators, furnaces, generators, converters, and 12V electrical, at the rig, wherever it is parked.

Why we work this way

Highlands County is one of the oldest counties in the country by median age, and a large part of that population winters in RVs and park models. The resorts along US 27 from Avon Park through Sebring to Lake Placid, the 55+ parks on Bonnet Lake and Lake Josephine, and the fish camps around Lake Istokpoga fill from November through April, and plenty of full-timers stay through the summer. The nearest dealer service departments book out weeks in season, and most put the units they sold at the front of the line. Meanwhile, the rig that needs help is often physically committed to its spot: slides out, awning staked, a season of living set up around it.

Mobile repair is the answer to that mismatch, but the mobile-tech market has its own problems: no published prices, quotes that appear before anyone has metered anything, and vague claims about authorizations that do not hold up. We built the service around those problems specifically: our prices are published, and every call starts with a diagnosis.

Published prices. Around Sebring, Avon Park, and Lake Placid the trip fee is $75 to $150. We bill labor at $125 to $190/hr with a one-hour minimum, and parts and tax come on top. Our pricing page lists the usual range for each common repair, so you know it before you ever dial.

Diagnosis before quote. No number leaves our mouths until the system has been tested, metered, and looked over. A water heater that will not light gets its thermocouple checked before anyone mentions replacement. When a rooftop AC just hums, we test its capacitor long before a new unit enters the conversation. A converter that died in a thunderstorm gets its output measured before anyone assumes the batteries are bad too. Not one wrench turns until you have okayed the price, and we make no exceptions to that. Florida’s motor vehicle repair law requires a written estimate for anything over $150 on the work it covers (F.S. 559.905), and you get one.

Honesty about what we are. Independent means we are not a dealer and not factory-authorized. We cannot perform manufacturer warranty work, and we will tell you that up front. If the part is still covered by warranty, phone the maker before spending a dollar; reimbursement for independent work is hit and miss, and you should know where you stand first. Engine, transmission, and chassis work is outside the scope too; that belongs at a truck shop, and pretending otherwise wastes your trip fee.

Who does the work

Our techs work on the house side of the rig, and the work mostly centers on a handful of components: the same lap sealant, Suburban and Atwood water heaters, Dometic and Coleman rooftop units, Norcold and Dometic refrigerators, Lippert slide mechanisms, Onan generators, and 12V converter setups found in nearly every rig on US 27. Our trucks carry the parts that close most calls in one visit: fuses, sealant, capacitors, anode rods, water pumps, thermocouples, and a spare converter, because in a state that leads the country in lightning density, converters are a consumable.

Working inside the parks matters more than outsiders realize. Resorts have gates, visitor policies, and quiet hours. Fish camps have narrow lanes and boat trailers. Include your park and site number with the request; we check in like any other visitor and plan the work so your neighbors do not hear a drill at 7 a.m. Storage lots across Avon Park, Lake Placid, and Frostproof have gate-access hours, so mention those as well.

The seasonal reality

Nobody here will manufacture urgency. Demand here is honestly lopsided: it surges from November through April when the winter residents are in, and thins out in summer when the parks empty. But summer is real work too: full-timers who live in Highlands County resorts through the heat, pre-rainy-season roof resealing in April and May, AC failures on occupied rigs in July, lightning-surge repairs after every big afternoon storm, and pre-season checkouts for owners flying back in November. If your job can wait for a better window, we will tell you so. If it cannot (water finding its way into a roof seam never waits), we will tell you that too.
