The Half of Your RV That's All Vehicle
Everything above the frame is a house; everything below it is a heavy truck. A loaded motorhome or fifth wheel puts enormous stress on brakes, bearings, and suspension — and unlike your daily driver, it sits for months between trips, which is its own kind of hard on rubber and steel. Chassis problems rarely announce themselves politely. We find them during inspection, before they find you on the highway.
Chassis Work We Perform
- Brakes — hydraulic and electric trailer brakes, pads, rotors, drums, magnets, actuators, and brake controllers
- Wheel bearings — inspection, repack, and replacement on trailer and motorhome axles
- Suspension — leaf springs, shackles, wet bolts, equalizers, airbags, and shock replacement
- Steering — play diagnosis, stabilizers, and component replacement on motorhomes
- Axles — alignment checks, spindle repair, and axle replacement
- Frame and structure — cracked weld repair, rust remediation, and hitch reinforcement
- Tires — condition and date-code inspection, and honest advice about when to replace
RV tires age out before they wear out. Most manufacturers call for replacement at 5–7 years regardless of tread. Check your date codes — or let us do it as part of a 15-point safety inspection.
Before the Big Trip
A pre-trip chassis inspection — brakes, bearings, tires, suspension, and lights — takes little time and removes the worst what-ifs from a long haul. If you're pulling out of DFW for the mountains this summer, come see us a couple of weeks before you leave, not the day before.
