Number 1 question we get asked is "Why does Patrice drive?" Well, in her
words, "You do not want me navigating! I do not have an internal compass, and
we will get lost!" Admittedly, she also gets motion sick sitting in the
passenger seat so Kevin navigates (thankfully) and Patrice drives.
Number 2 question we get asked is, "Where do you take your RV for repairs and
maintenance?"
If you're an RVer, you know that service is a touchy topic. We've all had that
phone call or visit to RV service shop where they tell you HOW LONG it's going
to take to simply get the RV in for service. Then, the conversation about HOW
MUCH it's going to cost. It's the HOW LONG that kills us and kept us on the
lookout for a trusted RV service partner who could get the job done in a
reasonable amount of time and not break the bank. It's not rocket science,
right? Does this unicorn actually exist?
Yes!! But it's not a unicorn, it's a Gator . . . Gator Ford. They're not an RV
retailer or dealer. They're experts in all things Ford, but they also use
their expertise to fill in the MUCH needed gap between RV service and maintenance.
We brought our Adventurer in for a basic oil change and to service the generator and immediately felt like we found the partner we were looking for. We
left the RV with them and upon leaving we got a text from our service tech
with a link to watch a video of the RV being pulled into the bay, the
technician then took us through a walk thru of the chassis, tires, generator,
etc. Pointing out all the things that looked great, and a couple of items that
should be addressed. Man, were we impressed and felt confident we were in the
right hands.
We were called back in just over an hour to let us know the RV was ready for
pick up.

Great article! It’s so helpful to have a resource for finding reliable RV repair tips. One thing I’d add is the importance of protecting your RV with a good RV cover to prevent damage while it’s parked. It can save you from unnecessary repairs in the long run!
