Barry Lewis – Your Friendly RV Technician
Hi, I’m Barry Lewis. My love for RVing goes way back to my childhood, when my family and I camped in everything from tents to towable campers, both across the U.S. and overseas. (My dad was in the Air Force, so we moved around quite a bit.) Those early experiences sparked a lifelong passion for life on the road.
Over the years, my wife and I carried on the tradition with our own kids—camping in tents, pop-ups, and towable RVs. Once our kids were grown, we decided it was time to make life on the road a little easier, so we moved up to a Class A motorhome. We bought a 2001 Fleetwood Bounder right around the start of the pandemic—great timing, right? Like many RV owners quickly learn, there’s no shortage of things that need fixing, replacing, or upgrading. I ended up working on nearly every major appliance and system in that rig—plumbing, electrical, HVAC, refrigerators, water heaters—you name it.
As we traveled, we ran into a common problem: when something went wrong, finding a mobile RV tech or getting into a shop with immediate availability was often a challenge. That experience stayed with me.
Eventually, we upgraded to a 2014 Newmar Ventana. And guess what? I learned that it doesn’t matter how much you spend on an RV—there will always be repairs and maintenance to tackle. That realization pushed me to get formal training and become a certified RV technician.
These days, I help folks mostly on weekends while I wrap up my full-time career. I plan to retire in the next year or so, and when I do, I’ll be shifting my focus entirely to RV service and support.
Whether you’ve got a Class A, B, C, a schoolie, or a towable rig, I’m here to help you keep your RV comfortable, functional, and road-ready. I know how important it is to keep your home-on-wheels running smoothly—because I’ve been in your shoes.

FAQs
How much do you charge for service?
Every job is a little different, so once we talk about what’s going on with your RV, I’ll be able to give you a better idea of the cost.
Here’s a general idea of how I charge:
– Service call (“roll charge”): $75 — this covers my time and travel for up to 30 miles from where I’m located.
– Hourly rate: $160/hour
– Parts: You can supply your own, or I can provide parts with a warranty. If parts I supply are defective I will replace them for free.
– Discounts: I offer discounts for veterans and first responders.
– I always walk you through pricing before starting any work—no surprises.
Where do you provide service?
I generally help folks within 50 miles or about an hour’s drive of my current location.

Yes, I am. And I strongly recommend making sure anyone working on your RV is insured.
I carry $1 million General Liability insurance for your peace of mind and mine. I have also completed formal training and certification through National RV Technical Academy.
