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.

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.

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.

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.
