Countryside RVing

This A/C needed a little more than a basic service.

When we started digging into this unit, we found multiple problems. The fan motor was completely seized, the control box wasn’t transferring power, and the coils were so clogged with dirt and debris that airflow was severely restricted.

At that point, it was time to tear it down and rebuild it.

We replaced the failed fan motor, replaced the control box, and thoroughly cleaned the coils to get proper airflow back through the system.

This is also a great example of why we recommend having your RV A/Cs cleaned and serviced annually. You may not see what’s building up underneath that shroud, but your A/C definitely feels it.

Not every failed A/C needs to be thrown away and replaced. Sometimes a proper diagnosis and repair can get an older unit back up and running.

If your A/C isn’t cooling like it used to, is making unusual noises, or hasn’t been serviced in a while, give us a call and let’s get it checked out before the Texas heat puts it to the test.

We absolutely LOVE moments like this! 🇺🇸

Getting to participate in the Wise County 250th Celebration Parade was already pretty special, but seeing our customers along the parade route waving, smiling, and cheering us on made it even better.

We’re incredibly blessed to call Wise County home and even more blessed that so many people right here in our community trust us to take care of their RVs.

When you run a small local business, your customers become a lot more than names on a schedule. They’re the people you run into around town, the familiar faces waving from the sidewalk, and the reason we get to keep doing what we love every day.

Thank you, Wise County, for continuing to support Countryside RVing. We’re proud to serve the community we call home! 🇺🇸🚐

9/11/01 — a day I will never forget.

I was walking the halls of 9th grade. I didn’t fully understand what was happening. All I knew was that we were watching the news in every class.

It wasn’t until I was sitting in 7th-period English class that it really sank in — our nation had been attacked.

I remember making a decision that day. Somehow, some way, I was going to serve my country. I didn’t know exactly what that would look like yet, but by my sophomore year, I knew it would be in the United States Coast Guard.

Twenty-one years later, I completed that goal.

I will never forget September 11, 2001. I will never forget the lives that were lost, the heroes who ran toward danger, or the patriotism that followed. In the days after 9/11, we came together as Americans in a way that has stayed with me ever since.

Today, we remember the fallen. We honor the heroes. We never forget. 🇺🇸

Sometimes a pretty small part can cause a pretty big problem.

This is the stop can on an electric through-frame slide system.

Take a look at the first photo. That stop can has taken a beating and is noticeably dented and deformed. The stop can is part of what limits the slide’s travel, so when it gets damaged like this, it can affect how the slide stops and put unnecessary stress on the slide mechanism.

The second photo shows the new stop can installed and ready to be properly adjusted.

Slide systems have a lot of moving parts working together, and something that looks insignificant underneath the RV can make a big difference in how that entire room operates.

If your slide has started stopping differently, making unusual noises, struggling to move, or just doesn’t seem to be operating like it used to, don’t wait until it quits completely. Give us a call and let’s get it checked out.

Your RV refrigerator is supposed to keep your food cold… not try to move downstairs. 😂

This customer noticed their refrigerator had shifted and something definitely wasn’t right.

Once we started looking into it, we found the problem—the bottom of the refrigerator cabinet had failed, allowing the refrigerator to literally fall through the cabinet.

With a refrigerator this large and heavy, simply pushing it back into place and adding a few screws wasn’t going to fix the underlying problem.

We removed the refrigerator, tore into the cabinet, rebuilt and reinforced the platform underneath, and then reinstalled the refrigerator where it belonged.

👉 Swipe through the photos to see where we started, what we found after removing the refrigerator, the rebuilt platform, and the finished repair.

This is a great example of why you shouldn’t ignore something in your RV that suddenly shifts, develops a gap, starts sitting crooked, or just doesn’t look like it used to. What appears to be a cosmetic issue can sometimes be a sign that something underneath has actually failed.

Sometimes RV repair means fixing the refrigerator.

Other times it means rebuilding the house underneath the refrigerator. 😂

Noticed something shifting, sagging, or just not looking right in your RV? Give us a call and let’s get it checked out before a small problem becomes a much bigger repair.

Your RV roof doesn’t usually fail overnight—it gives you warnings. The key is taking care of the sealant before it gets to this point.

The first 3 photos show what we started with. The existing roof sealant had deteriorated enough that simply cleaning the area and adding another layer wasn’t the right way to handle it. We had to remove the old sealant first, properly prep the areas, and then apply new self-leveling sealant around the roof penetrations.

And that turns a routine roof reseal into a MUCH bigger job.

This one took us almost 3 days to complete. Not necessarily because the roof was huge, but because working on an RV roof during a North Texas summer means the heat dictates how much can safely and effectively be accomplished each day. ☀️🥵

The last 4 photos show the finished product—and quite a difference!

This is exactly why we recommend staying ahead of your roof maintenance. Have your roof inspected regularly and address deteriorating sealant before it reaches the point where everything has to be stripped off and started over.

Even better? Plan your reseal for the spring or fall. Cooler temperatures make the job easier to schedule, easier to complete, and keep us from trying to cook ourselves on your roof in the middle of a Texas summer. 😂

Not sure what condition your roof sealant is in? Give us a call and let’s get it checked before a small maintenance item turns into a much larger repair.

❄️ From outdated to overpowered. ❄️

This RV came to us with an aging zoned A/C system. One rooftop unit had completely failed, and the other was struggling to keep up with the Texas heat. Rather than investing more money into outdated equipment, the customer decided it was time for a complete upgrade.

We installed two 18,000 BTU Furrion Chill Cube variable-speed air conditioners and simplified the system by putting the furnace back on its own dedicated thermostat.

The results speak for themselves:
✅ Faster, more consistent cooling
✅ Whisper-quiet variable-speed operation
✅ Improved energy efficiency
✅ A simpler, more reliable system that’s easier to service in the future

Not every RV needs a full replacement, but when an older zoned system starts becoming unreliable, upgrading can save you from chasing one issue after another while dramatically improving comfort.

If your RV struggles to stay cool, has an outdated climate control system, or you’re wondering if an upgrade makes more sense than another repair, give us a call. We’d be happy to help you find the best solution for your RV.

“Quality control is serious business… someone has to test the recliners. 😎”

People always ask what takes so long during an RV inspection. Well… besides checking every major system, making sure the furniture is comfortable is obviously part of the job. 😂

In all seriousness, a professional RV inspection is about much more than flipping on a few lights and checking if the A/C blows cold.

We inspect:
✔️ Roof & exterior
✔️ Electrical systems
✔️ Plumbing & water systems
✔️ LP gas system
✔️ Appliances
✔️ HVAC systems
✔️ Slide-outs & leveling systems
✔️ Safety equipment
✔️ And hundreds of other items that can become expensive surprises if they’re overlooked.

And yes… every now and then we have to make sure the recliners are still comfortable after a long day of camping. We do these things so you don’t have to. 😉

Would you rather discover a problem during an inspection… or on the first night of your camping trip?

👇 Tell me in the comments—what’s the most comfortable recliner you’ve ever sat in inside an RV?

One year ago yesterday, Countryside RVing officially opened its doors.

What started as a dream after retiring from 21 years in the U.S. Coast Guard has grown into something I couldn’t have imagined. Over the past year, I’ve had the privilege of helping hundreds of RV owners across North Texas with inspections, repairs, maintenance, and owner walk-throughs.

To every customer who trusted me with your RV, shared my business with friends, left a review, or simply supported this journey—thank you. Your confidence in me has made this first year an incredible one.

I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished, but I’m even more excited about what’s ahead. My goal has always been simple: provide honest, high-quality service and treat every customer’s RV like it’s my own.

Here’s to another year of keeping your adventures rolling.

Thank you for being part of the Countryside RVing family. 🚐💙

Not every RV we work on gets a second chance.

This one had damage that could have been repaired, but the insurance company made the decision to total it instead. As technicians, that’s never the outcome we hope for.

Our goal is always to repair an RV safely and correctly whenever possible. We know these aren’t just campers—they’re family vacation memories, full-time homes, or the result of years of hard work. Unfortunately, once an insurance company determines the repair costs exceed their threshold, that decision is out of our hands.

While we hate seeing an RV hauled away like this, we’re grateful for every customer who trusts us to fight for the best repair solution first.

If your RV has been damaged, don’t assume it’s a total loss. Let us inspect it and provide an honest assessment before making any decisions.
