🎃 Happy Halloween from all of us at RV Mobile Repair Guy! 👻

The only scary thing we want to see in your RV today is the candy bowl getting empty too fast. 🍬

Whether you're handing out treats at the park, trick-or-treating with the grandkids, or just hiding from the doorbell, we hope your night is full of fun, family, and zero breakdowns.

Stay safe out there, Liberty Hill! And if something goes bump in the night (or your A/C or water heater acts up), you know who to call. 🔧

RV TIP #7: Always use a surge protector. 🔌

Park power isn't always clean. A single spike or low-voltage dip can fry an A/C control board, a converter, or your TV in a second.

✅ Plug a surge protector (or an EMS with low-voltage cutoff) in between the pedestal and your RV
✅ Match the amp rating: 30 or 50 amp
✅ Check the indicator lights when you plug in. If it shows a fault, don't connect
✅ Wiggle test the plug. A loose or burnt-looking plug means call the park office

A $100 to $300 protector is cheap compared to a replaced board.

Already had a power surge? Call or text (512) 572-1421. We'll test it and tell you what's really damaged.

RV TIP #6: Do the soap test on your propane. 🫧

Heating season means your propane is working harder. A slow leak is easy to miss, and you can check for one with stuff already in your kitchen.

✅ Mix dish soap and water in a small cup or spray bottle
✅ Brush or spray it on the tank valve, regulator, and hose fittings
✅ Watch for bubbles that grow or keep forming. Bubbles mean a leak
✅ If you smell gas, shut the tank valve, get everyone out, and call for help

Don't try to tighten fittings blindly. Propane is not the place to guess.

Found bubbles? Call or text (512) 572-1421 and we'll come to you.

RV TIP #5: Check your tires, even if you never move. 🛞

RV tires age out in the Texas sun long before the tread wears down. Weekend is a great time for a quick walk-around.

✅ Check pressure when the tires are cold and match the number on the sidewall or door sticker
✅ Look for cracks in the sidewall and between the treads
✅ Check the date code. Most RV tires should be replaced around 5 to 7 years old, no matter how they look
✅ Use covers to protect from UV when parked

A blowout can tear up your wheel well, wiring, and plumbing too, so catching it early saves a lot.

Got damage from a blowout? Call or text (512) 572-1421.

RV TIP #4: Push the TEST button on your GFCI outlets. ⚡

Most RVs have GFCI outlets in the kitchen, bathroom, and outside. They're built to shut power off fast if something goes wrong, but only if they still work.

✅ Press TEST. The power should click off
✅ Press RESET. The power should come back on
✅ If it won't trip or won't reset, don't ignore it

Do it once a month. It takes 30 seconds.

Outlet dead, tripping all the time, or won't reset? Call or text (512) 572-1421. We come to you.

Go test one right now and tell us it worked! ✅👇

RV TIP #3: Protect your water line before the first freeze. ❄️

A frozen hose or spigot can crack fittings and leave you with no water, and Texas can swing from 70 to 30 overnight.

Quick freeze-proofing list:

✅ Wrap the spigot and exposed hose in foam insulation
✅ Use a heated hose or heat tape rated for RVs
✅ Disconnect and drain your hose on the coldest nights
✅ Keep your cabinet doors open under sinks so warm air reaches the pipes

A little prep now beats a burst line later. If you find a leak or a cracked fitting, call or text (512) 572-1421.

RV TIP #2: Fire up your furnace BEFORE the cold snap. 🔥

The worst time to find out your furnace is dead is at 5am on a 35 degree morning.

Do a test run this week while it's still mild:

✅ Clear the exterior vent of dirt, wasps, and spider webs
✅ Turn the thermostat up and listen for the fan, then the click of ignition
✅ Make sure warm air is coming out of every vent
✅ Smell for anything odd. A little dust burning off is normal, a gas smell is not

If it clicks but never lights, or it quits after a minute, that's usually a simple fix like an igniter or sail switch. Call or text (512) 572-1421 and we'll come to you.

RV TIP #1: Test your detectors today. 🔔

Cooler nights mean closed windows and furnaces running, so now is the time to make sure your alarms actually work.

✅ Press the test button on your smoke alarm
✅ Test your CO alarm
✅ Test your propane (LP) leak detector
✅ Swap batteries and check the date. Most detectors need replacing every 5 to 10 years

It takes two minutes and could save your life.

Detector not responding or chirping for no reason? Call or text (512) 572-1421. We come to you.
