When Roger Bordon became a Mobile RV Technician, he never imagined it would start with one frustrating phone call. After dealing with a rude tech and an outrageous service fee, Roger decided to fix his own camper—and that decision led him to launch Always Rolling Mobile RV Repair in Mansfield, Ohio.
In this blog, you’ll hear his story and learn why mobile RV technicians like Roger are crucial for today’s RV lifestyle—especially when they’re RVTAA certified and ready to roll at a moment’s notice.
From Frustrated Owner to Certified RV Tech
After deciding to fix his camper issue himself, Roger discovered he actually enjoyed the process. That experience, paired with a few conversations with other certified RV techs, pushed him to look into the National RV Training Academy (NRVTA). It took him about a year to commit—but once he did, he was all in.
Now, Roger runs Always Rolling, offering mobile RV services within a 30–40 mile radius of Mansfield. And during Ohio’s busy camping season, he stays in demand, especially among RVers who stay parked in one spot all summer long.
Why Hiring a Mobile RV Technician Matters
Ask Roger what stands out in his work, and he’ll tell you about the call he got from a family stranded on the interstate. Their axle had nearly caught fire, and there were no other techs around. Roger was the only one willing and able to help. Within 30 minutes of finding the right parts, he had them back on the road—headed to New York with no major delays.
That kind of service is what sets mobile techs apart. No waiting for a dealership appointment. No towing. Just a skilled technician with the tools, parts, and experience to get it done.
Most Common RV Repairs
According to Roger, furnace problems, water heaters, and awning damage are the most frequent issues he handles. Awnings, in particular, take a beating in Ohio’s unpredictable weather. “People forget to bring them in,” he explains, “and by the time I get there, the whole system needs replacing.”
Other issues like water leaks, AC problems, and power faults also pop up—many of which are caused by simple oversights. But even “simple” problems can become expensive if left unchecked.
Why NRVTA Certification Matters
Becoming RVTAA certified isn’t just about learning how to repair RVs—it’s about learning to do it the right way. Certified technicians are trained in diagnostics, systems, safety, and customer communication. That training builds confidence, both for the tech and the RV owner.
As Roger shares, dealing with warranty companies or diagnosing complex AC issues is where training pays off. It’s what ensures the job is done professionally—and that the customer isn’t left guessing.
Final Word: Mobile RV Techs Are Essential
Dealerships are often overwhelmed in summer and closed or limited in winter. And many full-time or stationary RVers can’t simply tow their rig in for service. That’s where mobile RV techs like Roger come in.
Whether you’re in a campground, stuck roadside, or just need help troubleshooting a water heater, a mobile RV technician can be the difference between a ruined trip and a minor delay.
