RV Trouble? Mobile RV Repair Is On the Way

Mobile RV Repair in Lake Charles, Sulphur & Southwest Louisiana

When your RV lets you down, En Route RV Services sends certified, trustworthy technicians right to your driveway, campground, or storage lot, so you can stay comfortable, avoid the stress, and keep enjoying your adventure.

What We Repair on Your RV – On-Site, Same Visit When Possible

Most calls we run in Lake Charles and Calcasieu Parish involve one of seven systems failing at the worst possible time. Here’s what we handle, and what to expect when you call.

RV Air Conditioning Repair

Louisiana summers are hard on rooftop A/C units. We diagnose weak cooling, frozen coils, capacitor failures, and full unit replacements — and because A/C calls spike from May through September, we keep common Coleman, Dometic, and Furrion parts stocked on the truck. Learn more about RV air conditioning repair.

RV Refrigerator Repair

Whether you’re running a Norcold absorption fridge or a 12V compressor unit, we troubleshoot cooling failures, control board issues, and gas/electric switching problems on-site. Learn more about RV refrigerator repair.

RV Water Heater Repair

Suburban and Atwood water heaters fail on ignition, gas valves, and electric elements. We carry the diagnostic tools and most common replacement parts on every call. Learn more about RV water heater repair.

RV Furnace Repair

Southwest Louisiana winters are mild but real — and a furnace that won’t ignite during a January cold snap in Moss Bluff or Vinton needs same-week service, not a month-long shop appointment. Learn more about RV furnace repair.

RV Electrical & Battery Diagnostics

Converter failures, inverter issues, 12V system faults, solar charging problems, and dead house batteries. We trace the issue back to the source instead of swapping parts and hoping.

RV Slide-Out, Awning & Step Repair

Stuck slides, motor failures, awning fabric and arm issues, and electric step malfunctions — common problems that strand owners in awkward setups at campgrounds.

RV Plumbing & Fresh Water System Repair

Plumbing repair covers pumps, lines, fittings and leaks, and we clean black, grey, and fresh water tanks. We don’t repair or replace tanks or the dump valves on black and grey tanks.

What We Don’t Do

We focus on systems repair and maintenance. We do not perform collision/body work, full roof replacements, or chassis/drivetrain repair on motorhome engines. We don’t repair or replace tanks or the dump valves on black and grey tanks. If you call with a need outside our scope, we’ll tell you straight and point you toward someone who can help.

Garth Frenzel, owner of En Route RV Services

Meet Garth, Your Master Certified RV Technician

Garth Frenzel is one of a small number of RVTAA Master Certified Technicians working in Louisiana. The certification means he’s tested and credentialed across every major RV system — chassis, electrical, plumbing, propane, appliances, exterior, and brakes. It also means when he tells you what’s wrong with your RV, he’s drawing on formal training, not just “I’ve seen one of these before.”

His wife, Monique, runs our administration and marketing. Our Service Coordinator, Amanda, whose voice you’ll hear when you call (337) 381-2024, confirms your appointment, manages the schedule, and handles warranty paperwork when applicable. Together, they’ve built En Route into the mobile RV repair shop that Southwest Louisiana RV owners actually call back.

How a Service Call Works

We get a lot of first-time callers who want to know what to expect before they pick up the phone. Here’s exactly how it works.

Step 1: Call or Request Service Online

Call (337) 381-2024 during business hours – Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Closed Saturday and Sunday. Amanda will walk through your issue, your RV’s year/make/model, and your location. If you reach voicemail, leave the same details, and we’ll return the call within the same business day. You can also use the online booking form.

Step 2: We Schedule and Confirm

You’ll get a confirmation text within an hour of booking, plus a reminder the day before your appointment with the arrival window and technician name.

Step 3: Your Technician Arrives at Your Location

We come to your driveway, campground, storage lot, or job site with the truck stocked for your specific issue. The first visit includes the trip out and the first hour of certified technician time. If we have the part on the truck — which we often do for common A/C, water heater, and furnace components — we complete the repair right there.

Step 4: If Parts Need to Be Ordered

For less common parts, we’ll diagnose during the first visit, order the part, and schedule a return visit to complete the repair. You’ll know the cost structure upfront, including any return trip fee and parts pricing, before we leave.

Step 4b: Warranty Service

If you have an extended warranty, mention it when you book. We work with most major extended warranty providers and handle the claim documentation on our end so you’re not doing the back-office work.

Pricing: Straightforward and Stated Up Front

We don’t hide pricing. Service calls start with a $230 service call fee, plus tax, that covers the trip and the first hour of certified technician time. If diagnosis or repair extends past the first hour, labor continues at $155/hour plus tax, billed in 15-minute increments. Parts are added at the time of repair, plus tax.

Extended warranty jobs are billed to your warranty company at the rate it approves. If your warranty company approves less than our estimate, you pay the balance. Most extended warranty companies do not cover the trip fee. Call (337) 381-2024 before booking and we’ll check your coverage with you.

En Route came to our home yesterday and we were so impressed with his knowledge and expertise. He showed my husband what to do himself if our issue with a slide out happens again. We highly recommend.

I was having issues with one of my air conditioners freezing. I contacted En Route RV Services and they were able to come out in 2 days. While there, I had them perform a cleaning service on both my A/C's. The technician took the time to explain what was causing the freezing, what the cleaning process consisted of and also what I should do in the future to help prolong the life of my A/C's. Once he was finished with the cleaning service, he then took the time to walk me around my fifth wheel and point out a few additional items I should be aware of. By far the best service call I have ever experienced. I'd definitely recommend this company.

Recently camped at Pickled Pelican in Holly Beach. I had an issue in my Nucamp Tab 320s. When I hooked to city water, the water would run straight out the back onto the ground from the fresh water overflow, and no water would come out the faucets. Spent the first night without water. Returning from crabbing the next day we spotted Garth working from his mobile truck on another camper. Took a chance and stopped to talk. He was ahead of schedule and was able to come down and troubleshoot the issue. I was up and running with a new water pump in an hour!!! I can’t say enough about this technician! Knowledgeable and works fast. Professional and friendly. Took the time to explain everything. I am so thankful! Hoping he expands his business to the Lafayette area! I highly recommend him!!

Frequently Asked Questions About Mobile RV Repair

Do you actually come to my RV, or do I bring it to you?

We come to you. Your driveway, your campground site at Sam Houston Jones State Park or any other Southwest Louisiana RV park, your storage lot, or a job site where you’re staying in your rig. You don’t have to tow your RV anywhere or wait for a shop to call you back. Our truck carries the tools and most common parts needed to complete repairs on-site.

How fast can you get to me in Lake Charles or Sulphur?

In Lake Charles, Sulphur, Vinton, Westlake and Moss Bluff, most repairs are scheduled within 2 to 5 business days. During our busy season it can take up to 2 weeks. We also serve Iowa, Cameron, Hackberry, DeQuincy and Ragley; call us to schedule a visit.

Need an urgent repair? Call us on a weekday at 337-381-2024 and we’ll fit you in as quickly as our schedule allows. We can’t guarantee same-day service.

Hours: Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Closed Saturday and Sunday.

What does a service call cost?

A standard service call starts at $230 plus tax, which covers the trip and the first hour of certified technician time. Labor beyond that is $155/hour plus tax, billed in 15-minute increments. Parts are quoted before installation. Extended warranty jobs are billed to your warranty company at the rate it approves, so call (337) 381-2024 to check your coverage. If your warranty company approves less than our estimate, you pay the balance.

Is Garth actually certified, or is that a marketing claim?

Garth holds the RVTAA Master Certified Technician credential — the highest certification level available in the RV repair industry. It requires written exams across every major RV system, plus documented field experience. You can verify the certification with RVTAA if you’d like.

Do you work with extended warranty companies?

Yes. We’ve worked with most major extended warranty providers and handle the claim paperwork on our end. Mention your warranty when you book and we’ll verify coverage before scheduling. If your warranty company approves less than our estimate, you pay the balance.

What kinds of RVs do you service?

Travel trailers, fifth wheels, Class A motorhomes, Class B vans, Class C motorhomes, and toy haulers from all major manufacturers — Forest River, Jayco, Keystone, Grand Design, Thor, Tiffin, Winnebago, and more. We work on systems and appliances regardless of brand.

What’s NOT in your scope?

We don’t do collision/body repair, full roof replacements, or motorhome engine/drivetrain work. We also don’t repair or replace tanks or the dump valves on black and grey tanks, though we do clean black, grey, and fresh water tanks. If you call with one of those needs, we’ll tell you straight and refer you to someone who handles it.

Do you serve full-time RV owners and contract workers staying in their rigs?

Yes — that’s a meaningful part of our work. If you rely on your RV as your home or temporary worksite housing, we understand that downtime isn’t optional. Mention your situation when you call and we’ll factor it into scheduling.
