We had to have work done on 1 air conditioner. I know there has been searches for reliable repair men by some of our fellow Gate Guards. Well I am very happy to report that there is a very good and reliable RV Service repair man in the area. I asked how far east he would go and he said as far as a good job wants him to. He will go to Tilden, Three Rivers, and George west I know because I asked him. He replace a motor and fan in my front air total for labor, service call and parts $367. My air never sounded this quiet before. He also has new air conditioners on hand should anyone want a new one put in.

He is good, quick and on time and very reasonable.


Please people take note....I had very good luck with this person and I am very happy with the work he did for me.But a very good friend of mine contacted him on my recomendation and came to an agreement, but hasn't been able to contact him, and leaveing messages and he is not calling back. If you need service and call this service man please don't do it because I was happy with him. Do so because you need service and good luck.
Note....I would still contact him if I needed something.

Found a really great mobile RV Service. Russell Williams of Scruss and Smith RV. Works out of Dilley fully certified. Cell 281-536-7242.
Had a slide out not retracting. Russell came and took one look, walked over to his tool box got a boilt and 15 minutes later slide out is slide in.
I found him as one of the BHP co. men had used him.

Following is his post on another forum:

I'm a RVIA certified RV tech new to the area as a mobile RV service I'm a hands-on owner and I provide RV service to a large list of south Texas areas. If you want to know more about my service you can check my website, www.scrussandsmithrv.com

OK first time to post, normally only a lurker, but wanted to add to Dons post. We are the friends of Don & Sharon who tried to have Norm come out to install a brand new a/c. I talked with him once and made an agreement with him, went to cw and bought a new unit. Called him a total of six times over five days and he never made the call back. Larry from GGS gave me the phone number of Platinum RV, Kevin, and I was able to make an appointment with him two days after I called. He sent his helper, a young man named Carlos, who did the job in less than an hour and charged me less then what Norm had quoted me. I was very impressed with the professional attitude of all involved. Platinum, according to Carlos will go anywhere in South Texas, is based out of George West and the phone number is 361-542-7943

Probably so...just have to keep an eye out. Most gate guards are friendly enough to tell you anything you want to know if you stop.

Wow Texan.......that is odd. Does that happen very often to you guys out there that have been with one gate for so long? Was the company released from the gate or what?
