Generators usually fail when they are asked to do real work, not when they are idling. A unit might start fine, then shut down as soon as appliances or air conditioning turn on. We run generators under load to see how they respond, track where performance drops, and correct the issue so power stays steady when it is actually needed.

Inverter problems tend to feel unpredictable. Outlets may work on shore power, but struggle once the RV runs on batteries, or battery drain feels faster than it should. These problems often come from how the inverter handles load changes. At OGRVs, our team check inverter behaviour during real use and corrects what causes power to drop out or behave inconsistently.

Most air conditioner calls start the same way. The unit runs, but the RV never really cools down. Airflow feels weak, temperatures stay uneven, or the system runs longer than it should. Even units from brands like Dometic can struggle when something inside limits performance. We remove that limitation so cooling stays steady during longer use.

Refrigerator trouble rarely means the unit is finished. Cooling feels inconsistent, recovery takes too long, or temperatures change between travel and parking. Power delivery and ventilation cause most of these problems, including on Norcold units. At OGRV’s, we get cooling back to a level that stays consistent in real-world use.

Slide-outs should move smoothly and evenly. When they hesitate, sound strained, or stop partway, something in the drive system is under stress. That could be a motor working too hard, a rail binding, or power delivery falling short. The issue gets isolated at the point of resistance so the slide can move normally again.

Slide-out seals take constant abuse from movement, weather, and debris. When they wear down, water and air start getting inside, even if the slide still looks aligned. Damaged seals are replaced and fitted correctly so the slide stays tight and protected when it is closed.

Leaks rarely start in the middle of the roof. They usually come from seams, edges, or areas where hardware meets the membrane. Cracks, lifting material, or worn sections allow water to travel before it shows up inside. The repair starts by tracing where water enters, then fixing that point so it does not continue spreading.

Sealant breaks down over time, especially around vents, edges, and transitions. When that happens, even a solid roof can start letting moisture through. Fresh sealing and coating restore protection and help prevent future leaks before they turn into interior damage.

Water issues often start quietly. A fitting loosens, a line develops a small crack, or a pump begins cycling when it should not. Pressure drops, moisture shows up where it does not belong, or odours linger. We trace the problem back to the source and correct it so the system works the way it should again, including setups that use components from brands like Shurflo.

Window leaks and fogging often come from failed seals rather than damaged glass. Moisture gets trapped, visibility drops, and water can work its way into walls. Resealing or repairing the window keeps water out and helps prevent interior damage from spreading.

Cold weather can damage plumbing quickly if water stays trapped in lines or fixtures. Winterisation protects the system before freezing temperatures hit, which matters for RVs stored around areas like Battle Ground Lake, where overnight temperatures can drop without much warning. The process focuses on protecting lines, valves, and fixtures so nothing cracks or splits during storage.
