If you prefer to just call when you need help and pay on a per-call basis, that is completely okay. There are some RVers for whom that is best! That’s why we offer it as an option. However, we’ve found that many RVers who choose not to become members try everything they can to avoid calling, as they want to avoid a charge. This often leads to frustrating scrolling through forums, mistaken diagnoses, and an overall negative experience.

With a membership, you don’t have to waste time trying to figure things out on your own, as there is no reason not to call! Not to mention, we can only submit warranty work for our members. Together with priority scheduling, discounted parts and labor, and annual inspections and winterizations, there are many benefits that you would miss out on without a membership.

It depends on how you use it, but many RV owners save hundreds, or even thousands, of dollars with RVFix. One of the biggest reasons is that 40% of issues are solved during the first tech call, meaning no service center visit, no diagnostic labor, and no parts to order.

For example, Chris, a real RVFix customer in his first year of RV ownership, called RVFix 22 times during the year. Some calls were for repairs, some were for questions, and some were for guidance while installing upgrades on his RV. Instead of paying a service enter for those repairs and installations, Chris worked through them with our certified techs during tech calls.  

Based on typical RV service labor rates, we estimate that he saved over $2,000 in labor costs alone. And that’s not even considering the time that he saved by avoiding weeks of waiting at a service center.

For many RV owners, one avoided service-center visit or shortened repair can pay for the entire membership.

We actually love YouTube and RV forums. In fact, we run our own RVFix YouTube channel where we share tips, how-to videos, and RV troubleshooting advice. Those resources are incredibly helpful for learning about RV systems and seeing how other owners solve common problems.

The difference is that YouTube and forums provide general advice, while RVFix provides expert help for your specific RV and your specific problem.

When you search online, you’re usually starting with a guess. You might think the issue is your water pump, but without proper diagnosis, it’s easy to go down the wrong path. That can lead to wasted time, unnecessary parts, or even bigger problems.

With RVFix, you’re connected directly with a certified RV technician who can see your unit during a live Tech Call. They know exactly where to look, what questions to ask, and how your systems work together. Instead of guessing through videos or forum posts, you get a real diagnosis and a clear plan to fix the issue.

It’s totally up to you! Many RV owners find RVFix to be extremely valuable, even if they rarely need repairs.

RVFix isn’t just for when something breaks. Many members use it for things like pre-trip inspections, routine maintenance walkthroughs, and learning how their RV systems work.

If your RV never has issues, and you don’t plan on taking advantage of unlimited calls to keep your RV in tip-top shape, then an RVFix membership may not be right for you! Feel free to save our number in your phone so you know who to call when a problem eventually pops up.

That said, even one issue per year can make the savings add up quickly. We’ve heard plenty of stories of RV owners spending hundreds of dollars on parts trying to fix something like a refrigerator, only to discover the real problem was something simple like the RV wasn’t level. A quick call with a certified technician could have saved a lot of time, money, and frustration.

Ultimately, whether an RVFix membership is worth it comes down to personal preference. But we do know this: most RV owners can easily get far more value out of their membership than what they pay for it.
