Martin and his expert team resolved some perplexing issues related to trailer wiring which normally would have resulted in completely rewiring the entire trailer. Not only was the work performed to the highest standard I was treated like family in terms of priority.

I posted my RV need this morning at 7AM.
At 7:20 i received a reply from Ming at Mings RV repair.
He had the quote ready and I called him back to ask some questions.
He was spot on with the answers and offererd to come fro Chino to Newport Beach to do the upgrade. Said he had the stock on hand and couls do it today after 1 PM.
I took the Chinook to his shop, he was ready to go and finished a new solar panel and lithium battery in two hours.
Thank you Ming, I will be back and will post to facebook Chinook users

Martin and his team have been amazing! I bought a converted camper van back in the in fall, and after a few weeks, everything stopped working: the electrical unit, the water in the sink, something was leaking, etc. I didn't know where to turn. All the camper conversion companies I called were booked out months, if not years, because of the pandemic (everyone wants a camper these days!). Martin was able to fit me in and WOW - I really hit the jackpot with him.
Turns out, whoever had built my van had no electrical training and likely just learned about electricity in a few youtube videos. It was a huge fire hazard and pretty dangerous. And on top of it, it didn't work. Martin was able to rewire everything and ground the electricity. This guy knows what he's talking about and knows what he's doing. It's been almost 8 months now, and I have had no trouble at all with the electricity.
I use my camper van for my business and I needed a way to stay cool inside of it during the hot summer. Once again, Martin went above and beyond - researching all the various ways I could get AC into the camper. In the end, the solution was brilliant. He was able to install an AC in such a way that it barely takes up any space, looks clean, and works great. AND - on top of it all - it works on solar! So it's eco-friendly.
Long and short of it: If you need something for your camper or RV and are willing to be a little patient (remember that because of the pandemic, all the RV places are slammed!), Martin and his team are phenomenal. Highly recommend!!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - John L.Fallbrook, CA03Dec 17, 2022
I have an old coach, a 74 Revcon, and it isn't easy to find people willing to work on it. Their crew seemed eager to get into it, so I described the work and was quoted $6K and an 6-8 weeks. They had a project manager keep in touch with me, which seemed professional. His job was to keep me apprised of the effort and budget status.
Bottom line, Martin took 2-3 times that much time and charged double his budget and didn't complete the work. The PM commented that they knew I was "good for it". Well I am not, they have failed to answer my follow up inquiries.
I will return to this post in a week or so to deliver feed back on Martin's customer service.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Lynette F.Oceanside, CA0261Mar 29, 2023
Arrived on time. Very professional. Took time to explain what he was doing. Identified a needed repair, ordered parts, fixed the problem and handled insurance. This was a great experience

Thank goodness for Martin the RV Repair Guy! We were plannning an extended RV trip and needed to find out why our Solar / Lithium Battery install was shutting down at 65% of charge.
Martin spent 4 days rewiring, securing, sealing, the entire system, installing safety breakers, fuses, junction boxes and a leaking roof where the solar wiring went inside the coach (no sealed box initially). Even the battery cables were cut in half to use smaller cable ends (lugs). PIctures will follow.
Martin is very knowledgeable, honest and actually was recomended by BattleBorn Battery, the manufacturer of our batteries. He also reached out to other manufacturers to assure all ofhis work was done correctly and safely.
I will update this posting once I get resolution on the initial install.
I highly recommend Martin! He was a life saver (literally) for us.Helpful 4Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Nick C.San Diego, CA15224239Sep 17, 2021

Martin has the ethic we dare not expect of those whom we ask to solve our RV problems. He is driven, talented, accessible and fair to a fault.
He installed my inverter, suggested a good workaround for an underpowered house battery, slogged through various plumbing issues and suggested further important tests and fixes which honestly hadn't occurred to me for my older and needy RV.
Martin can actually do it all. I don't want to leave California largely because I know when I have a problem beyond my ability (often), he is non-judgmental and practical -- a true credit to his profession.

Martin fixed my Burningman trailer again this year. When I asked him to check my trailer if it's ok to go to the festival and he found out that after winter my trailer's water system froze and wasn't working. It was literally 12 hours before I had to go for my trip. He magically fixed it in 6 hours and I was ready to go. I was so stressed and worried I will have to skip and have no water in my trailer but he fixed it all!
Thank you again!Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

I am glad we could weld that water tank .I was amazed how well it worked out
Please don't forget to winterize your 5th wheal this winterDec 10, 2016Previous reviewMartin is very professional and incredibly skilled. He repaired my cracked water tank on my fifth wheel when I though I had to buy a new one. He came to the location quickly, had friendly attitude and solved the problem on my trailer in no time. I can tell he is passionate about his work. I would definitely hire him again.

You may have to wait to get help from him, but Martin is worth the wait. We have a super rare, high end, 2016 Bowlus Road Chief. You would think paying $$$ and there being a super limited number of these trailers on the road that the customer service would be exceptional right? Not the case sadly. So after an email where I tried to gently point out to the owners of the family-run biz how I felt about their customer service (having been on the receiving end many times) went sideways - well I was looking for a new place to repair my rig.
Enter Martin.
He took on our Bowlus and did the repairs on something he had never worked on before like it was the easiest thing imaginable. He texted constantly to let us know he was running late due to a job taking longer than expected before us. He was honest about needing to be bothered about an invoice from us since he's so busy, and he was a very nice guy. Are his prices cheap? Nope. Is he worth it? Yep.
I'm glad to have found Martin the RV Repair Guy and will be using him again.Helpful 5Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1
