Interstate service/repair (Mid-Atlantic area)

[Qurius]

Does anyone have any experience or recommend a good service/repair facility anywhere in the Mid Atlantic area (not an Airstream dealer) that can do some custom electrical work on a 2021 Interstate.

I've done a lot of searching and not finding anything other that TT servicing.

Thanks

Might try calling those who do electrical work on automobiles, who may be able to do what you need.

The place that services my generator is an auto electric business that does RV work, as well,

Have also had electrical work done at Peterbilt years ago.

Good luck.

I recommend calling Joel Sell at Million Mile Sprinter in Philadelphia. He himself will not likely offer that service, but most of his customers are driving highly-specialized Sprinters of one kind or another (many of them custom camper vans), so I would bet that he has been asked that question previously.

If he can’t recommend any shops, then Sprinter Forum might yield some suggestions. We recently found a really good independent Sprinter shop in Knoxville TN through that site. Once again, many of that forum’s users are driving specialized Sprinters, so they may know of resources.

I can't recommend any (yet) because I'm on the schedule of four different shops waiting for cancellations to get in sooner than my appointments, which range from next week through mid-November. All were a minimum of 6 weeks out from the time I booked them. Once I have some experiential evidence, I'll be sure to post it.

(And I'll be sure to cancel the ones I don't need. I didn't love doing it this way, but it seemed like the only way to ensure I could get in to these places.)

Hi,
I have this company in my address book just incase of needing help with our Airstream, but I haven't actually used their services:
SLK RV Service, Kevin Gaughran, Barnegat NJ www.slkrvservice.com
Best,
John

If you were in Georgia or coming this way, I would recommend my diesel shop who does custom work on Semi Truck Sleeper Cabs as well as any type of diesel.

Taking my Land Yacht back to them next week to get routine service on engine and chassis.

Hi

I'd suggest that "custom electrical" covers a very wide range of possible tasks. Who you head over to probably depends more than a bit on just what you are trying to have done.

There a few things I wanted to have done but the main project was to install a Mastervolt shunt which is going to require the positive and negative battery cables rerouted/terminated into the shunt. I haven't found any Airstream dealers that could or would be able to do this.

I think the mistake is holding to a belief that only Airstream dealers can service Airstreams.

You don’t have an Airstream-specific need, you have an RV electrical need, and have gotten some good suggestions here.

Yes you're right... exactly why I asked about non Airstream service companies...and there are some very good suggestions here that I'm going to follow up on.

Hi

Ok, you have two electrical systems on your RV. One deals with 120V, the other deals with 12V. Some things hook to both, but most live on one side of the other. The 12V empire divides a bit with solar since the physical install can be a bit "fun".

What you are after is a very basic 12V piece of work. There is nothing exotic about it. I know of AS dealers who would install the device. The typical gotcha is that you would need to buy it through their parts department.

Since it's not very complex, just about anybody who is halfway competent should be able to do the work. For that matter, it is very much a "can do DIY" sort of project.
