When I needed a bike rack hitch on my Toyota Crown I started with the Toyota dealer who said they don't do it. After a search of local installers I went over to Conejo Vacation trailer and talked to Mike. He went online, found the hitch specifically made for my car and gave me a quote. Next I checked with my local bike shop and they recommended Eckharts, a local chain so I went in to see them and was told they could only do a custom hitch which would run me $100 more than what Mike quoted. Mike's shop is a bit of a mess but don't be fooled by appearances--he knows what he's doing. He ordered the hitch, called me when it was in and promised me it would take about two hours. At two hours and 10 minutes I drove away with my new hitch and drove straight to my bike shop where I told the tech about Conejo Vacation Trailer. If you're like me you do what you can to keep the small independent businesses alive. Mike made me feel good about my choice, saved me money and it all went off without a hitch! Wait, that didn't come out right. read more

I just want to thank Mike for being so helpful and stocking the necessary parts to get my travel trailer back on the road. I broke a leaf spring on day one of a 15 day vacation. Mike was busy working on another repair but got me setup with what I needed to fix it myself at a local Ace hardware store parking lot. This saved our vacation. read more

Everybody knowws Mike! Waddah guy. It appears there's nothing he can't do. Bought a cool cargo carrier for an upcoming road trip. Easy to assemble... BUT... the car hitch I bought and had installed was the wrong size. No problem, right? So I bought and adaptor. Problem solved... WRONG ! I thought the carrier came with rear lights. Ooops, ordered wrong model. Went to my Honda dealer service. Nope, they don't to electrical work. It's really complicated. They told me to go to Mike at this RV sales place down the road. Their directions were messed up. Went to a variety of RV sales and repair places who knew Mike, but their directions were just as shoddy, but I found him. Ok, he can do the job. But wait ! After installing the complicated electrical work, he attached the carrier. Oh no! The adaptor I bought lengthen the carrier by almost a foot, won't work. Since he told me he does welding, so I asked if he could create a new adaptor. He actually got. EXCITED ! He loves to tackle work that involves creativity and challenges his brain. Never have I seen a service person get excited about extra hard requests. Mike is truly gifted and one of a kind ! He worked a miracle. It was top notch work. He's the only guy around the southern Ventura county that does this kind of work. No wonder the Honda service guys and the 3 RV places I mistakenly went to go to him for their electrical work! Mike is a true "one of a kind." If you ask about local and state history you get a free history lesson too. Before I left he offered a hug, has any service mechanic ever done that for you? GRACIAS Sr. Mike !!! read more

My ask was to put a hitch receiver on my Subaru. I was told my vehicle could only have a 1 1/4 hitch and given the price. The price was reasonable to I went through with it. 2 solid reasons for the 2 missing stars: 1) they cut my bumper to make the hitch receiver fit without even asking. I could live with this if it were done well but it looks like it was done with a dull utility knife. 2) I found out months later that you CAN buy a 2 inch hitch receiver for my car which also is shaped correctly so the bumper does not have to be cut so I was making decisions based on incorrect information. I thought my car was in the hands of experts but clearly, for my particular vehicle, they had no idea what they were doing and now I'm spending another $500 to get the right hitch receiver (and my bumper is still damaged). It's quite frustrating. read more

I can't say enough kind things about Mike and his business. They are very professional, very kind, very thorough and very good at what they do. I can see why everyone raves about this company. I don't usually do reviews, but this is a stand out. read more

Mike is amazing. I was travelling on the 101 fwy, 60 miles from home, and lost a wheel off a fully loaded trailer. I pulled over, asked around, and was told Mike was The Guy. I went in, he diagnosed and patiently answered all my questions. He repaired the studs while I went to get a tire and I was back on the road in no time. Amazing service! read more

Conejo Vacation Trailers was the first place to answer after blowing a trailer hub on our way to Idaho. Stranded on the side of the freeway with horses. He fit us in on a Saturday, gave us a very fair price considering what had to be done, and we are on our way same day. Very grateful for such great service. read more

I can't speak highly enough of Mike. I put in a tow package for the dealer where I bought my SUV from. I've gone back to him for repairs to a leaking oil cooler many years later. He replaced the oil cooler, and wouldn't accept any payment from me. I've been back a couple of times to fix trailer light connections, and he jumped in right away, and again wouldn't charge me. Granted these took almost no time, but who does that any more? Mike is an honorable man who does great work. read more

Mike got me in quick and set up a Blue Ox system on my tow vehicle with braking system for 1/2 what the dealer wanted and even welded me a specialty hitch to carry my ebike Great guy, quick work, great work, great prices. Highly recommend read more

Bear with this long and will deserved review!! After purchasing a new motorhome, our dealer (Tom Lindstrom RV) recommended Mike at Conejo Vacation Trailer to install a tow bar and braking assembly on our Jeep Rubicon and new Dutch Star RV. I was nervous since both units are new and the RV is a diesel pusher. Plus, we wanted a permanent mounted braking system, which meant the Dutch Star braking airlines needed to be cut and tapped into. Mike suggested the Blue Ox tow bar, and the Air Force 1 braking system. Our install was scheduled for a Thursday (Jeep) and Friday (motorhome). I had total confidence in Mike and he delivered a perfect install. It was beautifully put in, all nicely and seamlessly integrated into both vehicles. It's better looking than if the factory did the install itself! Plus, he had to fabricate a heavy duty extension receiver hitch with a 6" rise to match the height of our lifted Jeep (we're big into off-roading too). A true artist with a welder! Thank goodness he has a large inventory of raw metal tubing as well as new towing accessories! I also returned the following Monday needing a 3" drop hitch with a 7" extension for the back of the Jeep to accommodate a bike rack to clear the large spare tire. Again, hand crafted! Almost done.... Mike is an awesome metal fabricator, an artist with an install, and truly a trustworthy professional businessman. I HIGHLY recommend his services!!! read more

Another happy customer. My trailer is 18 years old but is still in excellent shape and has provided us with many happy memories. It is very hard to find honest people that work hard. Mike is one of those people. I trust Mike to give good service at a fair price. Yesterday was my third time using his shop for an RV repair (new brake drums, shoes, magnets and wheel bearings). Thanks again.. read more

I've been here twice, first to get a hitch installed, and then to get the wiring harness. First rate!

Mike at conejo vacation trailer dialed me in before a big road trip up to Seattle. I had a weight distribution hitch installed and mike was very informative on the install and everything else related to towing a large trailer. Will definitely be back. read more

What can I say except mike is on it and beyond good. He fixed all my issues and even fixed my 1983 Dominic frig.

We've been here now and then for service on our Ranger boat trailer and Logan horse trailer. Each time Mike delivers on time and within cost estimates. His work is second to none. We just bought a new horse trailer and needed extra wiring and hitches. Of course, we went to Mike and everything was in stock and of the highest quality. read more

Love Mike and his crew! Have gone back many times with each trailer we have owned and has never disappointed. He knows his stuff! Very informative and great at what he does. We always come back for more. read more

Needed a tow set up for my Jeep behind my RV. He was very knowledgeable, easy to deal with, answers all my questions and had the best price. I will be back. read more

Mike did a great job fixing the frame on my pop up trailer. I gave him a deadline that was about 6 weeks out from when I brought it in. He was super busy when I called him to check in with two weeks left and he let me know it wouldn't be done in time. Bummed out, I explained how I needed the vehicle because my parents were going to be staying in it after we have a baby in two weeks. Well, Mike listened and got it done four days ahead of my deadline. Back on the road and stoked! read more

Listen up guys, Mike is the kindest, smartest, and most professional RV technician I've ever been to. I brought my 1988 Volkswagen Westfalia Vanagon Camper to him and he fixed my LP issues in two days. This car is over 30 years old and he somehow knew the ins and outs of how everything worked. I can't stress this enough, he is EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE !!! Come to this man! read more

I've known Mike Walker since high school and know he is an honest and conscientious guy. Recently purchased an Eagle Cap truck camper. Discussed with Mike about installing 600 watts of solar power on board, upgraded batteries to 4 6v, added 2 more panels, rewired to a new mppt solar charger, added a 3000 watt inverter, rewired shore power to add a surge protector and power conditioner. He worked with me throughout the project and now I have lots of power for boondocking. Excellent quality work from him. I know quality work as I am an aircraft mechanic/inspector. Hire Mike to do your work. You won't be sorry! Thanks for the great job Mike! Well done! read more

Mike is the most stand up honest guy I have ever met! After purchasing my first travel trailer, I came to him and he made me 100% safe.

Thank you for your honesty and for not over-charging like everyone else in this area!! You're the best!! read more

Mike is the only dude I trust to hitch me up. He's been my goto guy for all my RVs also. Does it right - the first time . Doesn't waste my money. I'm grateful we have such a guru in town. He's actually saved me from dangerous and/or expensive catastrophe on a few occasions through his thoroughness and knowledge.

Mike and his team are absolutely the best! Quality work with true integrity... They stand behind their work... 5 star service and knowledge!

I had a fantastic experience with Mike this March. Needed to set up a new car for flat towing behind a new RV - all firsts for me. Mike spent time on the phone walking me through the equipment and installation options, we came up with a plan, he gave me a price and we made an appointment for the work a week later. We showed up and he was all ready for us with all the necessary equipment on hand and ready to go. He installed a base plate, battery disconnect switch and power supply to the battery on my GMC Canyon toad. Very clean installation! He sold me a 10,000 lbs Blue Ox tow bar with all the necessary cables. Finally, he set up a portable RVI brake system to be quickly and simply moved in and out of the toad with a really slick battery disconnect switch. All this without ever seeing the RV, just working from pictures and measurements! When we realized I needed a slightly different sized hitch adapter to align the RV tow hitch with the toad base plate, he made one on the spot! All work was done right first time and ahead of schedule, and pricing was as agreed. I would never go anywhere else!! read more

Mike at conejo vacation trailer is the only stand up guy I've ever met when it comes to anything rv. Whether it's 100$ batteries or a few thousand dollars of custom welding. He makes you the priority when you have an appointment with him, has a high attention to detail and for the work I had him do for me, it's always been done before the due date. I recently went into mike to convert my fifth wheel to run dual six volts. I wanted to support local business and knew I could get the interstates at Costco cheaper but he bro'd me down and cut me extra lengths of wire I needed. I also happened to pick his brain about how to make my fifth wheel ride more level with my truck because I was out of adjustment on both the hitch and pin box. He mentioned welding a subframe and remounting the suspension. Knowing that mikes the best in his trade I made an appointment dropped it off and a day earlier than expected it was finished. Helped the ride and weight distribution on the trailer immensely and couldn't be happier. I would recommend mike at conejo vacation trailer a million times over to anyone! read more

Mike dropped everything when we limped in. Our 25' Passport travel trailer acquired burnt out bearings on one wheel while on our way home from a trip. He & Joe checked & fixed all 4 wheels, explaining everything as they went along. 1 1/2 hours later we were all fixed up & back on the road. Great job & great guys. Words seem inadequate to express our gratitude. Thanks. read more

Conejo Vacation Trailer - Mike, in the hat, & Joe, with his head under the wheel well. Great guys! - RV Dealers Near Me - Thousand Oaks, California

Mike is awesome! He has serviced my trailer for nearly 10 years. He is a great asset for sound advice on everything to do with trailers. He will not have you buy something that is not needed. I recommend CVT to all of my friends. read more

These guys just helped us with our fifth wheel problem in minute. Other places wanted fees and appointments. These guys know there stuff and are about as nice as people can be. Thanks! read more

Mike and his crew simply rock. I have been using CVT now almost exclusively for 10 years for hitches, repairs and accessories. He always manages to fit me in. The work is done when promised, it's done right the first time and his pricing is very fair. If I had any complaints it would be the prices on the in stock items a bit steep but everything else more than makes up for it. I have even become a better driver having to get the trailer into the yard but it's all part of the charm that makes this the best RV repair place in Ventura County if the personal touch means more to you than the bottom line. read more
