Your RV will eventually have something break or go wrong. It doesn’t matter what kind it is, who made it, or how much it costs. If it’s an RV, something will eventually break.
If you’ve owned one before, you probably already know that the usual process to get your RV fixed can be painfully long and frustrating.
You haven’t been happy with the way RV service has worked and you’ve let us know. Bish’s received this Google Review from an RVer going by the name “Corndog”:
“We’ve owned our trailer for 8 months and it’s been waiting for service or in service for half of that”
Corndog’s got a silly name, but the problem is serious and common. He spent a boatload of money on an RV to camp in, then half the RV’s early life was spent stuck at the service center!
Meanwhile, our guy likely made 4 payments on an RV he couldn’t even use.
Corndog, you represent an army of RVers who’ve experienced something similar at RV repair centers across the country. At Bish’s, we’re here to say, we’re truly sorry about the way things have been.
You, and all RVers, deserve a better RV repair experience. With RVfix you can get your RV fixed faster. Here we’ll explain how it works and how you can get access to it, so you can really enjoy your RV the way you hoped – out in nature and not stuck in service centers.
Faster RV Repairs with RVFix
Bish’s RV has developed and spent the last year testing RVFix – an RV repair experience that helps you spend more time camping and less time with your RV in service.
More than 5,000 RV owners have used RVFix and reviews are rolling in. We’re happy to say RVers’ feelings about repairs and service are changing. Here’s one recent review:
Jay is one of many RVers leaving positive reviews about RVFix. It may not be completely perfect yet, but it’s working and we’re constantly improving it with your feedback.

You’re Right – Traditional RV Repairs Take Too Long
Imagine you just bought your RV. You take it out for the first time. Go to warm up a Hot Pocket, and the microwave doesn’t work. Is the microwave busted or is there a bigger problem with your electrical system?
You definitely don’t want to get stuck in the middle of nowhere without electricity in your RV, so you decide to get it checked out.
RVers know the story all too well from here:
You call the dealership, they’ll ask you to make the long trek to the service center to drop off your RV. You wait for the camper to be looked at, wait for the problem to be diagnosed, wait for authorizations, wait for warranty approval, wait for parts, wait for service. . .
Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait.
Meanwhile, you’re missing valuable chances to camp, all because your microwave is on the fritz.
Whether the problem turns out to be big or small, your RV is likely stuck for too much of the camping season. A November, 2023 IDS RV software report shows that even the simplest RV repair will get your RV locked up in service jail for an average of 37 days.
If the service center needs to order parts and/or get warranty authorizations the average becomes a whopping 71 days!*
You wait and summer passes by. And there you are, staying home, making payments on an RV you can’t even use!
Better, Faster RV Service and Repair with RVFix
RVFix is a new and better way to do RV repairs. It helps keep your RV off dealer lots and out of service centers so you can be out camping as much as possible. Here’s how it works:
How RVFix RV Service Works Faster:
RV Repair Solutions From an RV Tech – Wherever You Are
When you have a problem with your camper you’ll call the RVFix line. A real-life, master RV technician from Bish’s will help diagnose and troubleshoot your RV’s problem over a video call while you’re in your RV.
RVFix has been tested more than 5,000 times. 40% of the time our tech can walk you through a solution over this call.
This means your RV may get fixed without moving it an inch.
You won’t need to waste an entire Saturday prepping your RV, hooking it up, and driving it to a service center just to sit and wait for simple answers.
Most phone calls with a RVFix technician last 30 minutes or less. Go ahead and order a pizza, by the time it arrives your RV may already be repaired!
Unlimited virtual RV tech calls are included with your RVFix membership at no extra cost.
As long as you have an active RVFix membership you don’t need to waste a single minute searching for a fix on YouTube or trying to solve the problem yourself. Click to learn how to activate your membership or sign up for the waitlist:
Keep Your RV Until Repairs are Ready to Go
What if the problem is a bigger than you can handle yourself and/or you need parts?
Not every problem can be solved right away. If your RV needs a little more love, don’t worry, RVFix still works faster and won’t leave your RV trapped at a service center.
You can call us directly from your campsite if you have a problem on a trip. While you stay out and play, we’ll order parts and start your warranty claim.
From your campsite, the virtual tech can usually* diagnose the problem, order parts and start warranty authorizations. All without your RV entering a service center.
Our service center will have you bring in your RV when everything is ready – parts, warranty, and a service bay.
Your RV will only spend an average of 3 days at our service center when you use RVFix.
Meanwhile, without RVFix you may miss half the summer (or more) while you waited for an appointment at the repair center, warranty approvals, parts to come in, and the actual service to get done.
*85% of remaining RVFix cases can get parts ordered and warranty approvals started over video call

How Do I Get a RVFix Membership?
A 1-year RVFix membership is included with every RV purchase at Bish’s RV.
You deserve more time to make memories in your RV. In 2024, we’re giving you a free 1 year RVFix membership if you already own an RV you bought at Bish’s.
If you’re looking to buy an RV, a free 1-year membership of RVFix is included with every RV from Bish’s RV.
While you have a RVFix membership, you can use the RVFix virtual tech as much as you need.
You’ll only have to pay added costs if your RV has to come into the service center for repairs and/or parts. If the repair is covered by a warranty, you won’t even have to pay for that. If you choose to have a mobile tech come to your RV, there will likely be extra charges for that as well.
After your free year, you can get RVFix for a locked in lifetime discounted price, as long as you keep your membership active. If you didn’t purchase from Bish’s but would like to use this service, we are currently filling a waiting list but will open up memberships to non-Bish’s customers very soon.

20 years in the RV industry and a lifetime around RVs have convinced me that nature is a lot better with a comfortable bed and working bathroom.
I love to use what I’ve learned to help RVers find the best RV for the best possible price.
