This review is a few weeks overdue. Let me just say from jumpstart, if I could rate Shawn 10 GOLD STARS he would deserve every one of them. About 2 months ago, Shawn serviced my 5th wheel for water heater maintenance as well as a heater related issue. He was on time, respectful of my time, extremely communicative and proved to be highly trustworthy. Shawn handled the water heater related issue quickly, efficiently and smoothly. The heater turned out to be a bit more of a headache. But Shawn handled it like a true professional at all times. He worked to diagnose the issues with the heater, but had to return another day to complete the repair. Based on my intial interaction with Shawn the first day, I had absolutely no problem allowing him to further repair my trailer while I was at work. Shawn was able to complete the repair, completely cleaned up his work area in my living area, and provided video and audio proof that he had completed the repair. Shawn charged me a reasonable price to maintenance and repair my trailer. Let's me be clear. It was reasonable and appropriate NOT cheap. We all know we get what we pay for and this is especially true for mechanics and professional tradesman. Bottom line is Shawn is 100% trustworthy, his pricing is appropriate for the service quality and service call, and he can be counted on to get the job done correctly when the job is complete. I will call Shawn again when I need him. But he even gave me tips and educated me on the maintenance of my trailer so I can save myself some money in the future. Thank you Shawn. I appreciate your help getting my trailer squared away read more

Shawn and his crew are very knowledgeable and really know their stuff. They are quick to answer your call, give you an assessment of your RV issue right on the phone and tell you the costs involved for the diagnosis and possible repair. For example, he knew that the water pressure at Newport Dunes is really strong and that could be part of the problem with a water leak in the RV. He gave some other options of what the issue could be and what it would cost for travel, consultation and repair. I was very impressed with their professionalism and knowledge. I will definitely use them to all my future RV repair needs. read more

The RV Doctor saved our vacation. Shawn was professional, responsive and highly experienced in servicing our RV.

Shawn was amazing! He was able to fit us in to a busy schedule, communicated has arrival time, diagnosis and repair proficiency. I highly recommend using Chadwick RV for any repair you may need. read more

New owner, it's not Chadwick anymore. Pompous, arrogant and GROSSLY overpriced vs other mobile RV techs, and there are plenty of good ones in OC area. Hard pass. read more

I've had my RV for 10 years now. It's so difficult to find knowledgeable people to service an RV. Even if I go to an expensive shop, still issues. Being ripped off, questionable work and waiting weeks if not months for repairs. While on vacation to disneyland my RV had an electrical issue. Not surprising but from another mechanic mistake tripping fuse on converter from changing batteries. I called Shawn and he was there next morning. Most knowledgeable person I met. He saved my families vacation. He stands behind his work and offers great pricing. read more

RV Doctor-Thanks Shawn for looking at our Furrion AC unit in a Brinkley 3100. Unfortunately he was unable to correct the problem, so appreciate his honesty and it falls on a warranty issue. Shawn is professional and experienced in RV servicing. Appreciate his walking thru the steps in an attempt to fix our surging AC. Highly recommend his services!! Thanks again Shawn. read more

I have used many RV techs in my 21 years of living in fifth wheel trailers, most will just charge you trip charge to diagnose the issue at $ 100 and hour. Howard takes his time to on the phone to solve the problem prior to costing you a tun of money. Don't waste your time with anyone else if you want the best. read more

Very grateful for Sean's hard work and great knowledge! He's helped me with a couple issues and is my go to call for service.

These guys were so great. I had a leak in my RV and they got right out and after ruling out other possibilities determined it was my water heater. Had one back out in a couple days and popped it right in. Great service and great value. I could not ask for a better team. Thanks Shawn! read more

Professional, accurate and timely Definitely recommend these guys... It was 4 to 6 weeks at a dealership, and these guys came the next day and were done in two hours. read more

Chadwick - RV Doctor - Fixing our furnace... - RV Repair Near Me

We were in our first week of camping in our brand new travel trailer, all the way from South Florida. When we set up at the park, we noticed we were leaking water from just about anywhere a camper can leak water! I posted some pics of the excessive leak. I called Howard and found him to be exceptionally professional. He informed of his pricing upfront and based on my verbal explanation, gave me an estimate of how long he thought it might take him to fix. He also gave me an estimated time of arrival, which was nice, because we couldn't use any water until he could fix our leaks. Howard was right on time and called about 30 minutes out to keep us updated. Super knowledgeable technician, extremely reasonable, empathetic of your issue and punctual. What else could you ask for with a mobile RV repair? Thank you, Howard!! read more

I can't tell you how great Chadwick RV is. They respond immediately. They keep you informed on parts and labor and even call if they will be late. I won't call any other RV repair when I'm in this area !!!! read more

Shawn and Howard came to my rescue with an amazing array of repairs. Their knowledge and store of parts is like nothing I have ever seen. I am new to the RV world, so I had a number of issues that had accumulated over the last 14 months. They fixed my water problem which had multiple issues. They fixed my zone 1 A/C unit which had stopped functioning and fortunately only need a new capacitor. They serviced both units and cleaned the filters. They also found a noise which have been driving me and my wife completely nuts! It turns out it was the TV antenna that had been laid the wrong direction and was hitting our satellite dish. So I had them remove it. They explained everything they were doing and gave me options. You cannot go wrong with their service. They focus on inside systems, electrical, plumbing and HVAC. In my experience, these are the systems that can lead to major downtime if you go to a shop. I cannot afford downtime, as my RV is my mobile Iffice and hotel for work. Having them show up at my RV park and having all the parts they needed on their truck is priceless. https://chadwickrvdoctor.com/ read more

Great experience and help with the hot water heater. Would def use again in future. Also, a tip- if your still under warranty your trailer manuf will reimburse you. read more

Shawn was great. I would highly recommend him for any RV Repairs. Great service at a reasonable cost.

I highly recommend the RV Doctor for mobile RV service. upon arriving and setting up at our camp site, I immediately noticed water coming out from our water heater panel on the outside of our trailer. I called The RV Doctor who returned my call immediately, and was at our camp site in about an hour. Shawn diagnosed the issue as a water heater failure. The part was ordered the same day and replaced the day after part arrival. Shawn is a very experienced and seasoned RV mechanic who will get the job done the right way, first time. read more

Fast response to my inquiry and quick response time. Customer service was exceptional and I would def recommend them to my friends and family. read more

When I was first looking for help, they were the only company out of several I contacted that responded. That was great for myself and my family because this company was honest, smart in their assessment to my issues, resolved them, and their pricing was fair. The representatives were thoughtful and caring. When I experienced a new issue on the weekend, they called me back and walked me through the process to self assess my issue. I don't typically write reviews, but their service was so good I thought others should know and they should be rewarded for it. read more

Howard and Sean are excellent. They came the same day, are a wealth of knowledge and we're very helpful in not only fixing the issues I had but also helping to educate this newbie on other RV things. Highly recommend! read more

We had an issue with our RV electrical system that we were unable to solve with manufacturer's tech help, manuals, YouTube, etc. Howard made the long trek to San Elijo State Beach that day and fixed the problem in a little over half an hour. He was great! read more

Had a problem with water heater connection. Shawn was able to easy out the cheap plastic nipple remains and replace it with brass. Saved us from a new water heater purchase. Professional, on-time, honest. Can't ask for more. read more

Howard saved my vacation. 2 weeks before my vacation I was preparing my weekend warrior. I even took the beast out for a test run. Everything worked . Then came the day of the trip and everything turned to . I called Howard and explained the electric jack to raise and lower the beds wasn't working and the beds weren't coming down. I had the trailer plugged into the house power what could be wrong? Howard had me check a couple of small fuses they worked then he said check the battery. Well both batteries were dead. Howard said to check the batteries because he didn't want to have to come out and charge his service charge for something simple. I truly appreciate his help. Now I can go sit in traffic . read more

Chadwick - RV Doctor - RVing is a lifestyle, let's go ! - RV Repair Near Me

Howard has helped us several times now with great results. He has been very intelligent in diagnosing tricky problems. He has also quickly told us the systems he does not work on, such as awnings. For us he has been great on appliances and electrical problems. We highly recommend him. read more

We got to our campsite and when I connected to shore power my trailer had no electricity. It was over 100° and my whole family was freaking out! I called Howard and even though he was on medical leave he walked me through some troubleshooting steps over the phone and come to find out my power converter had failed. He even told me a trick to get my trailer working in the meantime and it saved my family's trip! All free of charge! Definitely recommend him and his service, you can tell he genuinely wants to help people. read more

Looking at the reviews I'm guessing I caught the guy on the wrong day. He was driving through the Rv park and pulled over next to my site so I approached him to ask about his services and to get a business card. He was very rude and asked me what I wanted. I told him never mind when I needed an Rv guy I'd look another place. I've worked the customer service business as a supervisor and his response to me bothering him isn't a good way to run a business. read more

Our new to us 2010 Winnebago Tour was having electrical issues. We could not get shore power to connect with the RV. Both Howard and Shawn were absolutely amazing in how they worked together diagnosing and fixing the problem. They are true professionals that care about the quality of the work that they do for clients. Also I appreciated the fact that they stick to the jobs they know best. If it's something they are not familiar with, they don't waste your time tinkering around, they will just refer you to someone who is skilled in that particular project. They were awesome, thank you guys so so much. read more

Howard was out of town when we called for a service request , as indicated on his phone message. However he was kind enough to call us over the weekend and scheduled an appointment with us for Monday, the first day he returned. We had driven to Oceanside all the way from Texas with no hot water as we could not find suitable repair along the way. He arrived promptly, was very professional and courteous, and did his absolute best to make the necessary repair. However due to an expensive materials used in the manufacture of the RV, he was unable to complete the repair and, as such, did not charge us for the service call per his motto. He spent nearly 2 hours with us and tried his very best but the lack of success was due to no fault of his own. We were very impressed with his demeanor and his hard work in attempting to remedy our situation. But most impressive was that he is a man of his word and fulfilled his motto of " we fix it or it's free". He did not charge because he was unable to repair what we needed. We would highly recommend him to anyone and will definitely call on him again should we need assistance on our next trip. read more

We rented an rv to go camping at Doheny State Beach in Dana point. Rv doctor arrived within 30 minutes and was able to fix the problems we had with the RV. He's a life saver and fixed the AC which we needed in the hot weather. He's really nice and was able to fix the problem fairly quickly. read more

All RV owners know that owning an RV is a crapshoot. There are thousands of things that can possibly go wrong. My wife and I use our 40 foot Diesel pusher at least a week every month. Last week I had an electrical problem that was a head scratcher, We were 500 miles from home and had no electrical service. the park office gave me some cards of possible repairman, and I go "Oh here we go again" who do you pick. You know, every once in a while you get lucky and this was MY day. I gave Howard a call and he tried to figure out the problem on the phone, but we were not successful, he arrived within an hour and had my problem resolved within two hours ,after checking all the way back to the problem. very prompt and professional, just wish I had the same type of repairman closer to home . read more

He is well worth the money and the wait. He came to our aide and helped us with our motorhome at the camp ground. Very professional and hard working. Will hire him again in a heartbeat. read more
