I have yet to start my project, but Adam walked me through a detailed look at the upgrades I want to make. He educated me on options I didn't even know were possible. He then provided me with an extensive breakdown of cost. The best part was he sectioned it into 3 phases so that I can tackle this awesome upgrade within my budget over time. The look of the shop and projects he was currently working on was impressive. I'm excited to start this journey at Avalon RV in the coming weeks. read more

Can't thank Adam @ Avalon RV enough for repairing the solar system on my 37 ft fith wheel. He did what another RV company couldn't do for three years. I agonized for way to long over the amount of money I have spent on a solar system that I could not use, total system recommended by incompetent RV company, I'll go ahead and say - Happy Days RV. Which one, all of them , been to everyone in Northern California over the course of three years. I had to give them a chance to make it right. They couldn't ! Then I found Adam at Avalon RV in Benicia, Ca recommended by a gentleman in Salem, Oregon I met when I was broke down. Go figure, fate I suppose. Was very fortunate to have found Avalon RV. Two months gone by since Adam repaired my system, totally on solar ever since running all my appliances, tv and air without a problem. So grateful for Avalon's expertise! Money well spent for peace of mind, trouble free solar system! A very satisfied customer. Thank you Adam ! Garry Wilson read more

I worked with Avalon to have them complete repairs on my vintage trailer. From the first contact, Adam and Josh were helpful and professional and the guys in the back greeted me each time I came in. I felt like I was treated like a valued friend from start to finish. They did an excellent job on the repairs, and they communicated with me all through the process to keep me informed. Avalon even found and worked with a fabricator to create a part that was no longer available anywhere. As a result of my experience with Avalon, I have referred two friends for trailer repairs as well. I'm grateful to have Avalon available in the Bay Area. read more

High quality work Installed solar Did routine maintenance Very responsive Provided me with excellent information regarding use of my new travel trailer Prices were reasonable read more

Brought my Class C here. Many repair shops will make you leave your rig for weeks. They resolved my electrical issue in one day. Good communication and reasonable prices. Highly recommended for your RV repair needs. read more

Summary: Avalon RV added a heat pump and some major electrical upgrades to my Airstream Basecamp. I was very pleased with both the process and the results. Working with Adam was excellent. Highly, highly, highly recommended. I have a 2023 Airstream Basecamp 20X. I was a little underwhelmed with the electrical setup from the factory, so I decided to get some upgrades. I asked the dealership, but they quoted me some truly astronomical prices for half of the work, and wouldn't even do the other half. So I started looking around for other options and landed on Avalon RV, due to the excellent reviews. Dear reader, the excellent reviews are true and well deserved. I worked with Adam on my project. I gave him some initial specifications, he responded very quickly, and the detailed nature of his responses and suggestions indicated that he understood exactly what I was looking for and exactly how to accomplish it. And the total cost was much more reasonable than what I had been quoted by the dealership that sold me the Basecamp originally. From their reviews and website it looked like Avalon RV usually only worked on vintage units, but they were totally comfortable working on my newer 2023 model as well. Avalon RV installed 300 Ah of additional lithium batteries, a Victron Multiplus 3000W inverter, an extended underbench enclosure for the new electrical components, a Cerbo GX unit and GX touch display for monitoring the system, a RecPro rooftop heat pump, an accumulator tank, and an extra 120V outlet. Everything works perfectly. Quality work, smooth process, fair price, and all of the results met or exceeded my expectations. I'm a happy customer. read more

Adam and Josh are outstanding. These guys are so skilled and knowledgeable that it was literally worth an 1173 mile roundtrip to bring my Sprinter to them. Several RV service centers I had tried did not have the tools, equipment, or experience to handle lithium ion upgrades. These guys do. read more

Was looking for company to do some solar upgrades, electrical work and cabinet work on my grand design travel trailer. After reaching out to a few companies and getting no call back, I found Avalon RV. How lucky was I. I had a great experience. Prompt response, quick turnaround , reasonable and clear pricing and more than anything else, amazing customer service. Adam spent lots of time with me explaining my options and really trying to understand what I wanted and gave me suggestions. They provided clear videos they produce to show how the components I got work. When I picked up, Adam walked me through everything they did to make sure I was clear on how it all worked. The best part, my trailer was there for less than a week...unheard of for RV service. Great experience. Thanks for the great service and experience !!! read more

Checking back in seven years later to say that all the work done by Avalon RV to my 1965 Globetrotter still holds up beautifully! We redid the landscaping around our house in 2020, finishing right before the Covid lockdown. As part of that project, our Airstream was connected to the sewer line and we had a trailer hook-up put in. Since then "Moxie" has seen daily use as an office (and sometimes as our second bathroom...), and everything works just as beautifully as the day we brought her home. Adam and his team are a pleasure to work with, and they deliver outstanding results. Trust Adam with your rig--you will not be disappointed. read more

Adam was amazing!! I had been dealing with a janky connection from my roof solar panels to the solar controller. I went another unnamed shop and they tried half baked fixes like c-clamps, strong beige tape, tapping on wires, etc lol. I would leave the shop and come home and it would not work again. Adam and team did a real fix! Plus they were able to do it so quickly. Many thanks and am so glad I found them. Any future electrical upgrades and I will be calling them before anyone. read more

See all

Once again, Adam saves the day. We had an intermittent water heater. Fixed it like a champ. Thank you. Greg read more

Waited 6 weeks to get in. Would have waited as long as it took. The best often isn't fastest or cheapest. Be patient and book with Adam.

Adam is a great guy, and his work is excellent. His crew knows what they're doing when it comes to high end Solar. I came here to have a Magnum MSH-3012 Hybrid Inverter installed and it turned out great, for the most part. I would definitely recommend his services installing Solar equipment, he certainly knows what he is doing. It took a while to get an appointment after sending payment, but I guess he's really busy. I did have to wait a day on-site because, but I have no problems with the delay, of course planning for unforeseen consequences weeks in advance is impossible. There was no issue staying with my unit overnight, so it wasn't a concern. The wrap up was on the night before Thanksgiving and there was a bit of a late night drive to finish the project which left left one strand of romex uncovered and unfastened, which wasn't really a big deal to me considering the amount of work done in the time they had. There wasn't a whole lot of time during the rush to finish so perhaps I got in the way near the end of the day because I knew there wouldn't be time for a proper walk through. I did pay a bit more than I thought was fair for having the batteries rewired, but there seems to have been a preexisting wiring issue that went by unnoticed. I tried asking for a quote to correct this via email twice, but it seemed like he wasn't interested in taking that job on. read more

These guys rock!! I was looking for a reputable shop that specializes in vintage airstreams to finish up some plumbing work on my 1964 Globetrotter, install a new water pump, fix a leak in the city water line, repack the wheel bearings and evaluate the old air conditioner. After searching around a bit, someone from the NorCal Airstreamers recommended Avalon. It took a while to book an appointment (they're booked solid for weeks ahead), but I'm sure happy that I waited for an opening with these guys. Brought my Globie down from Sacto and left it with Adam and Paul fully to expecting to wait a week or so. Adam called later the very next day to let me know they were done! Great job and reasonable. If you have a vintage airstream - or other vintage brand - you can't go wrong with these guys! read more

Adam and his team did an awesome job frabicating a new table, testing and fixing a variety of plumbing and electrical issues on my 66 Caravel. Very happy with the work, throughly recommend. read more

Ridiculous , brought in my rig for some easy repairs, what I got was lights no longer working (even though I did not bring it in for that), ripped roof that was once immaculate now needing repair tape (after a bad roof attachment install) and a ridiculous bill to boot. Still licking my wounds. read more

Adam and the team are gods when it comes to the electrical/solar stuff. I had a makeshift (DIY by previous owner) 500W solar setup that had so many small issues I couldn't count them on my fingers. They went through the system fixing them as they went and now my electrical system is working perfectly. If I ever have another issue I'll be back here for sure because their ability to troubleshoot on a system that they didn't even install was impressive to say the least. read more

Adam was amazing. I have been to other repair shops, just to get parts and they didn't get it right. Adams work was fast and reasonably priced. I wouldn't take my pop up any place else. Thanks again Adam! read more

Adam and Avalon RV are simply the best. They encompass what a true owner / operated business should be. Helpful, courteous, fair. I have had Adam and his crew work on my trailer which was an older 18' Terry, they did what they said they would do when it came to repairs and enhancements, offered advice on what I should do and counseled me on things I thought should be done but really didn't need to be done and would not add value which I greatly appreciated. We enjoyed 3 great years with that old trailer which thanks to Adam and his crew performed admirably. We sold that, and as a result of what i learned from Adam purchased a new Air Stream! It will be at Adams shop for some add on's soon. I know a lot about my own business and product but I am a regular civilian when it comes to these trailers and I know when I ask a question or want to do something $$$ signs do not appear in their eyes! Often its "don't do that" or "it would better to spend money on this" always with my best interest at heart. Adam has had the patience of "Job" when it comes to some of my foolish questions and "ideas" and I always leave feeling smarter then when I came in. Do your self a favor and start at Avalon with your questions and concerns on any trailer, motor home etc...they know their business and will treat you with respect. David LaFollette read more

We had Avalon RV repair our RV several times. The work was always done quickly and professionally. Adam has a great business. His business is easy to get to and has good parking for an RV. read more

Adam and his crew offer stellar service and a deep knowledge of vintage Airstreams. They redid parts of my 1965 Airstream Globetrotter, and left the stuff in good condition intact. My rig has been on display this month as part of my neighborhood's Christmas display, and everyone who walks by ooh's and aah's over it. I waited 15 years to do this project. Avalon RV did a beautiful job, and were wonderful to work with. Bring your baby here. They'll take care of you. read more

Great Service!!!! "Avalon RV" went above and beyond, putting all of my worries aside. They came out to me, on time, professional and very friendly! I have an older coach, no manuals no documents at all and my electrical issues were giving me the blues! Despite all of this, these issues were solved and preventative measures were taken to protect my RV all at the same time. Thanks Avalon RV!!!!! read more

The one-star review of Avalon RV by another Yelp'er is totally unfair. How can a business be poorly rated because they are successful? They were also not able to help me until October. Good for them! This is an excellent sign of a business that is thriving. Any repair and restoration business that is this popular is doing something right. They were nothing but helpful, considerate and professional when I called. This is customer service at its best. The fact that they are honest, upfront and considerate is no reason to slam them. read more

Adam and his crew are wonderful, knowledgeable and fair minded. Highly recommended.

I've been bringing both of my vintage airstreams to Adam for about 2 years now and all of the work preformed has been stellar to date. One of my trailers required extensive repair from an accident and I've not felt safer towing her on the road since. Wonderful workmanship and exacting attention to detail across the board. Get on their calendar early, the only nit is they're so good, they're super busy! read more

This is an excellent business. Everyone was friendly and professional, and went above and beyond in every respect. Adam was very patient with me as I made the big decision to purchase my first Airstream trailer, then he meticulously combed it for necessary repairs, and creatively renovated it for me (into a salon) using mostly original material. Paul tastefully designed aluminum letters to detail my business signs (his own idea). The estimate for repairs and renovations was extremely reasonable and was the amount I ended up paying. These guys really put a lot of thought, time, and energy into this trailer, and my business. I am so impressed. read more

My husband and I are looking for a vintage Airstream, but had no clue how to inspect one. Adam Blair of Avalon RV to the rescue! He not only gave me a lot of guidance via email, he came out with his truck full of tools and a generator and a propane tank to inspect the one we were considering from head to toe. He was incredibly thorough and knew EVERYTHING about Airstreams (of all vintages). Best of all, he was patient enough with a novice like myself to explain everything he was doing so I could learn. I can't recommend Adam highly enough. (And I haven't even gotten to how beautifully he restores Airstreams; you have to go to his website and check those out for yourself.) read more

Last year my wife and I bought a classic 40+ year old RV on EBay, hoping to use it as a mobile office. The photos were beautiful and we bought it "as is" from Michigan, over 2,000 miles away, without an inspection. We peeled back the vintage shag rug to do a simple carpet replacement and discovered that the wood floor and the overhead sleeping area were rotten with mold and wood decay from years of hidden water leaks. We soon had a long list of problems with plumbing, electricity, woodwork, appliances, cabinets, etc. I checked out Avalon RV Restoration and liked the owner and the crew. They seem to love the restoration of classic trailers and do excellent work. They have about a dozen vintage trailers on the lot, mostly Airstreams, being restored or in line for restoration. I waited eight weeks for a slot. Their prices are fair and the quality of work is superb. From custom cabinetry to ingenious electrical upgrades, you couldn't ask for more. Thanks to Avalon, we now have a beautiful wood interior, warm low-amp LED lighting, upgraded heater, modern upgraded converter and inverter, re-worked plumbing, new rooftop sealant, a first-rate battery bank, and high-output solar panels. They flood-tested the clear, gray, and black water tanks, and pressure tested the entire RV for leaks. The floor is actually stronger and better than new, with new frame welding and foam insulation sandwiched between marine plywood--no squeaks, no spongy spots, and finished with understated Marmoleum. Avalon saved our vintage RV from the junk heap and kept a beautifully restored work of art on the road. read more

Adam installed new batteries for the solar system on my RV. He also did some trouble-shooting of the electrical system. He pinpointed the problem and changed some wiring. A top-notch outfit. I would use them again. read more
