We had some issues with our brand-new RV, and although it was unexpected, True Test RV Repair really came through for us. From start to finish, they were nothing short of excellent. Rosalyn, in particular, was so communicative and made sure we were always in the loop. The team was on point, super helpful, and really went above and beyond. Honestly, it felt like they were part of the family, taking care of us as if our RV was their own.They got us back on the road quickly, and we’re so grateful for their service. We can’t recommend their services enough—they truly made a difference.I also want to mention how supportive Chuck Peterson from Black Forest River was. They worked seamlessly with True Test RV Repair, and it made the entire experience even better.If you’re in need of RV repair, True Test RV Repair is the place to go!Sincerely,- Happy Campers -A&M😬

John and his team of technicians are exceptional. Autumn and Roslyn in the office are particularly outstanding. True Test offers both mobile repair services and a large shop for major jobs. I had a significant warranty repair that required my rig to go into their shop, and they also handled a smaller warranty repair by coming out to my rig. John clearly knows what hes doing and truly cares about customer satisfaction. Ill continue to use True Test and highly recommend them!

While traveling to MI, the refrigerator in our 3-week-old RV stopped working. When we got to MI we called the 5 mobile techs in the area, and no one really wanted to help because we would only be there a couple of weeks. Contacted another mobile tech from the RV park we live in & they gave us Johns number. He was at our rig the day after we returned home. He contacted Lippert who told him to do a hard reset, meaning totally disconnect from power. When he went to disconnect the batteries, he discovered they were over heating to the point of getting ready to explode. Once they cooled down, he removed them & went and bought us 2 new batteries. He installed them & continued on with the reset. The fridge was on for 12 hours. I called him the next day; he came back our & did the reset again. He came back the following day & contacted both Lippert & Grand Design. Lippert sent the part needed & he came and installed that. The Fridge is currently working. He has checked on us a few times since then to make sure all is well. He took the time and made sure it was right. Thanks John. Highly recommend him and his crew.

I would give 10 stars if possible. I needed help and John rescued me big time. I was selling a lot I owned in Tree Lakes Resort. I also had a 42’ RV on it. The RV was on blocks with Hurricane Straps around the axles bolted into the concrete pad, a skirt all around it bolted into the concrete pad as well as plumbing and sewer hook up with PCP piping. The wheels/tires were underneath and needed to be installed. I had a very motivated buyer appear offering me top dollar for just the lot. He had his own RV. I arranged with John to remove EVERYTHING from the lot. The closing came up very quickly. As I said I had a very motivated buyer. John and 2 of his men rushed out one morning in May to do the job and tow the RV to his shop. It was brutally hot. Temps in mid 90’s and dew point in upper 70’s. The closing was scheduled for the next morning. John and his men worked incredibly hard all day and into the evening. It had to be really brutal in that heat and humidity. At 8pm Autumn sent me pictures of the now empty lot. They were forwarded to the buyer who gave 👍. We closed the next morning. PS: John and Autumn bought my RV

10 out of 10 work from these guys. They came out to fix a leak in 3 of my windows and fixed a seal that was leaking. When I got a call with an eta, they showed up at the time given and did great quick work. I haven’t had it leak since. Great job to this company.

I cannot say enough good things about John and Brad. As a first timer used RV owner, they have taken the extra time to explain things that I do not understand, in a way that is easy for me to understand. Peace of mind is what they have given me. They will stop what they are doing to answer my questions and give me an explanation as to what they are doing, as well as the why they are doing it. They respond quickly, work efficiently, are affordable, and are 100% reliable. Once all of my initial fixes are complete, I look forward to having John and Brad help me maintain my RV, so that I can have continued peace of mind when both traveling in it, and spending time in it, wherever I go. Theyre the best!

True Test RV has been excellent in customer service and actual repair services. Rosslyn is amazing and attentive over the phone. It definitely helped me feel that everything will be taken care of, and it was. Brad is an amazing tech with over 10 years of experience and knows his stuff. It took him no time to diagnose issues and fix them! No one wants to have issues with their travel trailer, but knowing I have a local experienced shop makes me feel stress free. Thanks!

I was referred to John @ True Test RV by Gulf Coast Power, a certified Onan/Cummings repair service that serviced my genset but found a fuel delivery issue, that was out of his realm of expertise. I took my RV to True Test, Autumn coordinated the move. John stated he thought the issue was a hose with 2 valves, that became stuck, he checked further to verify it & identified the issue as a valve in the hose, he ordered a new one, thinking it may take 2 days to arrive but I received a call the next day stating the RV was ready to pick up. This is the least stress I had at a RV dealer, John is a Master of RVs, he knows them inside out, I wouldnt go anywhere else to have my RV repaired. What a great team in a family owned business!

Mobile RV Repair Tech you can trust This says it all. John is dependable and timely in his service and repairs. We have an Alliance 310 RL paradyme and had a recall to be repaired on the gas disconnect as well as 3 other repairs so we could continue on our trip. He did an outstanding job as well as help communicate to Alliance the estimates. We were so glad to find him in the Sarasota , FL area!

John and his crew are easy to work with and did a great job on fixing my slide. Timely and quality service, makes sure the customer is taken care of and works with major manufacturers on warranty work if needed. I would highly recommend True Test RV Repair!

We had an awning tear discovered while we were home in NY and couldn’t get repairs done before we had to travel south for work. We found True Test by word of mouth in the RV Resort we are staying at. John and his crew were fantastic! When we tried to bring the awning in for them to start, the motor wouldn’t work! That was a problem we didn’t anticipate and we actually had another awning motor from when we purchased the RV used last year. They replaced that first then got to work with replacement awning and light strip. We mentioned a couple other things we needed to have fixed and they are coming back this morning to do those minor repairs. Cannon and Antonio are great young men who know what they are doing! John is professional and courteous and seems to be a great mentor to these young men getting started in the RV repair service. It’s a busy time of year with seasonal guests arriving and needing work done so waiting for one week for supplies to come and the job to be finished seems very good to us. Highly recommend True Test RV Repair!

All I can say is that these folks got me back on the road in no-time! Even within 5-days of a major hurricane, they were able to get the part (_/--\_) and tire that I needed with very quick turnaround. THANK YOU!

We had a tankless water heater installed by a different mobile rv tech. The water heater wasn’t working properly and the original tech refused to do any warranty work. We contacted True Test RV Repair and they were amazing. John and his team went above and beyond to get the warranty work done and get our water heater working properly. We truly appreciate them going out of their way to fit us into their schedule as soon as possible and fixing a problem that wasn’t even theirs to begin with. We highly recommend them and will definitely only use them in the future.

John and his team at true test RV are very knowledgeable. Ive learned so much about my RV just by talking to them. John is the type of owner that goes out of his way to make sure all of his customers get grade A service! Ive even decided to have my RV stored on his lot. Totally satisfied with True Test!

I Needed AC unit on our 2005 Motor home they got the part and replaced before Helene hit..it was very must appreciated.

John was the only company who responded to my calls for help over during Christmas weekend, after losing all power to my 5th wheel. A technician responded and fixed the problem in a timely manner for a reasonable price.John continues to help me as needed while I work on warranty reimbursement.Working with True Test was a very good experience and I’ll use them again.

Review 17 (2023-12-05 - Rating: 5)
They went above and beyond to make sure my RV was no longer leaking before my trip to Missouri. Cannon was awesome he didn’t give up until it was fixed. He showed great innovation coming up with different ways to fix it since the part couldn’t be attained from Winnebago for 2 weeks.

I highly recommend this RV Repair company.. The level of excellence from John and Brad is second to none. Ive had them repairing my used camper for a number of different reasons throughout the last few years.Ive had them seal the entire camper and they did a fantastic job. They were meticulous in that one tedious job (during the summer it must have been a thousand degrees out that day) but theres no more musty odor in here any more!Ive had them replace my entire gas system with all electric, and now I have a hot water heater thats electric and its so much better than gas for me.Today, I just had them here replacing my awning and Im thrilled with it!These guys are the good guys. The real deal. Fair priced and done right the first time. Thanks John and Brad!!

Review 19 (2023-08-23 - Rating: 5)
Great local owned businesses. John was very helpful with the issue I was having with my slide out, gave great tips. Service was prompt and friendly. Sadly in the RV world it seems 9 out of 10 times the techs have no idea what they are doing, that definitely not the case here! Very knowledgeable about all aspects of RV repair and maintenance. Waited 3 months for a quote on a replacement awning from a big RV company, John got back to me within an hour with a quote and several options. They will definitely be my go to RV repair company here locally, if I could only get them to travel with me!

I know who I am calling in the future ! Awesome service. Brad is so knowledgeable and helpful. You can tell he loves his job and wants to do it as well as possible.

In all my years of RVing I have never dealt with a better mobile repair service than True Test RV Repair. John and Brad went over the top to make sure all my problems were solved and everything worked like it is supposed to!Thank you for everything, you guys are the best!!

Review 22 (2022-01-05 - Rating: 5)
John repaired my air conditioner in November 2021 while I was visiting Florida. He responded quickly and fixed everything For a reasonable price. If I’m ever back down in Florida and need repair, I would only call true test rv repair. Their costumer service, work, and timeliness is exceptional.

Review 23 (2022-04-07 - Rating: 5)
We bought a brand new camper and within the first day, we had identified about a dozen issues from manufacturing. Things like the HVAC was never connected, the outside power plug wasnt never screwed in right. The bedroom door fell off the ceiling in the first night. Quality of new campers is bad. The True Test guys were excellent! They came several times to continue to fix issues. They even spotted damage on my awning when helping a neighbor RV. While we were gone from our camper, they secured the awning and came back to fix it I highly recommend them!

Review 24 (2021-12-24 - Rating: 5)
The best! After having numerous issues with our AC unit over the past 4 years, and at least 5 different RV AC “experts” it is clear to us that John and Brad are honest and fair. They are true professionals who know and understand RV’s and the service needed. John finally showed us how to properly operate our AC units. One unit needed total replacement and the price was very fair and half of what another RV service was going to charge for the same unit. Since I gave a 5 star, I also want to mention that they always showed up on time and even came out on Christmas Eve to make sure we had a cooling unit for the holidays! That deserves a 5 star!

Review 25 (2024-03-14 - Rating: 5)
Very, very favorably impressed by the entire team here. Easy to work with. They bend over over backwards to handle difficult situations. Sorted a complex situation of a leaking shower and washing machine and handled all of the warranty issues with multiple vendors.

Review 26 (2022-01-16 - Rating: 5)
True Test saved the day! We were traveling through Tampa and our 2021 5th Wheel landing gear broke. We were stuck and couldn’t continue on with our vacation. We called a half dozen RV repair companies and none could respond within a reasonable amount of time. Brad from True Test prioritized our job and had us back on the road within 24 hours. We couldn’t of been happier. To top it off, their prices were very reasonable.

Review 27 (2021-12-31 - Rating: 5)
John is a highly qualified RV tech and has helped me on numerous occasions. He is both knowledgeable and dependable. He can quickly diagnose problems and performs quality work at a reasonable price. I plan to use John every time we are in his service area.

A follow-up to Roseannes email. Not only was the job completed and on a holiday they actually stopped by after the holiday with additional information and to check that the a/c unit was working. The best and I would recommend to anyone.

John went above and beyond to work with us and do a thorough inspection of an RV. He was very knowledgeable, patient and helpful in answering all of our questions and explaining the RV. He was honest, did not make up anything he didn’t know and was focused on detail. He was also very communicative. I would highly recommend his company for any repairs or inspections!

This is by far the best most professional company we worked with

Review 45 (2022-03-04 - Rating: 5)
I was surprised and pleased to deal with John. His is one of those businesses where when you call the owner answers. We got same day service, how incredible. He was out and took a look at my air conditioner within hours, and recommended it be replaced. That was bad news for me, on a Friday, but by the next Wednesday afternoon I had my new air conditioner installed and working terrifically, thanks to John. It all came off just as he said it would.

True Test is the best rv repair in the area!! From answering my call at 10pm to ordering the part we needed. I would 10/10 recommend this company to anyone needing rv repair in the area. The only reliable, helpful and friendly business I called (and I contacted a ton of rv repair businesses in the surrounding area).
