Your RV runs on two separate electrical systems - 120V AC from shore power or a generator, and 12V DC from your batteries. When either side fails, it can knock out lights, appliances, slides, or the entire coach. We troubleshoot both every week across Stuart, Palm City, and Jensen Beach. Here's what we see most and what it typically runs.
30-amp and 50-amp hookups, burnt power cord ends, pitted shore inlets, and automatic transfer switch failures. Down here in Martin County we see a lot of corroded inlet contacts from the salt air, and changeover relays that weld shut after a lightning-induced surge. If your rig won't pull power from the pedestal, that's where we look first.
$130-290 parts + labor - 45-90 minDead coach batteries, hidden parasitic draws draining the bank overnight, battery isolator failures, and corroded terminal connections. We load-test each battery, measure draw with a DC clamp meter, and check converter charge output. If the battery bank is cooked, we'll tell you straight instead of wasting time on a charge cycle that won't hold.
$85-210 parts + labor - 30-60 minWe service Progressive Dynamics, WFCO, Parallax, and Xantrex units. A dead converter board is the number one reason we see coach batteries dying while plugged in. We pull the board, bench test it, and carry replacements for the most common models so you're not waiting on a parts order.
$160-375 parts + labor - 60-120 minBreakers popping under normal load, corroded bus bar connections, blown DC fuses, and panel wiring that's gotten crispy from heat. We see plenty of 30-amp rigs where folks try running the rooftop A/C and a space heater on the same leg. That's a load issue, not a panel issue. But when bus bars show carbon tracking or breakers won't hold rated amps, we replace them.
$110-265 parts + labor - 45-90 minGFCI outlets that trip and won't reset, dead receptacles, open grounds, reversed hot and neutral, and outlet replacements. The humidity along the St. Lucie River corridor eats outlet contacts alive, especially on rigs parked at waterfront sites. We test every device on the circuit to isolate the actual ground fault rather than blindly swapping parts.
$85-175 parts + labor - 30-60 minLippert, Schwintek, HWH, and Power Gear slide motors. Kwikee electric step motors and control modules. A stuck slide can leave you locked inside or your furniture hanging out over the bumper. We test the motor current draw, check the controller for fault codes, and inspect the wiring harness before deciding what actually needs replacing.
$160-425 parts + labor - 60-120 minInterior dome lights, porch lights, awning strip lights, dimmer modules, and full LED upgrades. A lot of older Class C and travel trailer rigs still run incandescent bulbs that pull way more current than necessary. We swap in LEDs, fix corroded sockets, and replace faulty dimmer boards. A full LED conversion can drop your 12V lighting draw by 75-80%.
$65-160 parts + labor - 30-60 minNorcold and Dometic fridge control boards, microwave power feeds, water heater electrical ignition, and A/C thermostat wiring. Sometimes the appliance looks dead but the real problem is upstream - a melted connector, a blown board relay, or a wire that vibrated loose in transit. We trace the full circuit before telling you the whole unit needs replacing.
$110-325 parts + labor - 45-90 minIf your interior lights dip every time the water pump or fridge cycles, you've got a voltage drop somewhere. Weak batteries, undersized wiring, or a converter that can't keep up with the load. It'll get worse before it gets better.
Any burnt smell from the breaker panel, an outlet, or behind a wall is a "stop everything and call someone" situation. That's a connection arcing or a wire overheating, and it's a fire risk. Don't just flip the breaker back on.
You charge them up, unplug the rig, and they're dead by morning. Could be a bad cell in the battery, a parasitic draw from an LP detector or radio memory circuit, or a converter that stopped charging altogether. We see this weekly in Stuart.
Intermittent shore power connections are usually a loose or corroded inlet, a power cord with a heat-damaged plug, or a transfer switch relay that's sticking. The inconsistency makes it hard to pin down, but the pattern tells us exactly where to look.
When you lose power to several things at the same time - lights, pump, and monitor panel all go dark - it's usually a main fuse, a loose connection at the distribution panel, or a battery disconnect relay that failed. Not five separate problems. One root cause.
Call 772-280-3915 or fill out a quote request. Tell us what's happening - dead batteries, flickering lights, no shore power, stuck slide. We'll schedule a visit, usually same or next day anywhere in Martin County and surrounding areas.
Our tech arrives with a digital multimeter, DC clamp meter, circuit tracer, and a fully stocked truck. We trace the fault through your AC and DC systems, measure loads, test every connection, and isolate the failed component. You get a written price before we pick up a wrench.
Most RV electrical repairs wrap up in 1-2 hours. We stock breakers, GFCI outlets, converter boards, relays, fuses, wiring connectors, and common control boards on the truck. After the repair, we load-test the system so you're not calling back tomorrow with the same issue.
RV electrical failures don't stick to a schedule. A dead rig in Stuart's summer heat with no A/C or a burning smell from behind a panel can't wait until Monday. We pick up the phone around the clock and dispatch across Martin County as fast as we can.
Our techs carry RVIA certification through the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association and are fully licensed and insured in Florida. RV electrical work is different from house wiring. The dual-voltage systems, the vibration environment, the safety standards - certification makes a real difference here.
Everything we repair gets a 90-day labor warranty. If a fix we did fails within that window, we come back and make it right at zero cost to you. Parts carry their own manufacturer warranty on top of that. We stand behind our work because callbacks are bad for both of us.
Our converter was dead and the batteries wouldn't charge. Tech showed up, tested the Progressive Dynamics board, had a replacement on the truck, and swapped it in about an hour. Batteries started charging right away. Really impressed with how fast this got handled.
Had a weird intermittent power loss that two other places couldn't figure out. Stuart RV Repair found a melted connection inside the transfer switch in about 20 minutes. Fixed it on-site for a fair price. Should have called them first.
Slide-out motor died right before a trip. Called Saturday morning and they came out that afternoon to Jensen Beach. Had a Lippert motor replacement done by 5pm. Saved our whole vacation. Can't thank them enough.
RV electrical repairs in Stuart typically run $65-425 depending on what's wrong. GFCI outlet replacements cost $85-175. Shore power and transfer switch work is $130-290. Converter or inverter repair runs $160-375, and slide-out motor replacements can hit $425 on certain brands. We always write up an on-site estimate before starting any work.
Losing power at the pedestal usually traces back to a damaged shore cord end, corroded inlet prongs, a tripped breaker you can't see inside the rig's panel, or a transfer switch relay that's stuck open. We check pedestal voltage first, then work through the cord, inlet, and changeover relay. About 60% of the time it's a contact or relay issue.
That's exactly how we operate. Every RV electrical job we do happens on-site. RV parks, campgrounds, storage yards, driveways - wherever your rig sits in Stuart or Martin County. We bring the tools and parts on the truck so there's no towing involved. That's the whole point of mobile RV repair.
A loud humming converter that doesn't charge usually has a blown charging section on the circuit board while the cooling fan circuit still works. Progressive Dynamics and WFCO units both do this. We pull the board, test each section, and carry replacement boards for the most popular models. It's typically a 60-90 minute repair, start to finish.
Flickering lights when the pump kicks on is a voltage drop problem. Either the battery bank is weak, the wiring between the battery and distribution panel is corroded or undersized, or the converter isn't keeping up with the demand. We measure voltage at three points - battery terminals, distribution panel, and the pump itself - to pinpoint where the drop happens.
A breaker that trips more than once shouldn't be ignored. It's protecting the circuit, but something is causing it. Could be a worn breaker tripping below its rated amperage, a developing short, or a circuit that's genuinely overloaded. Repeated trips create heat at the bus bar connection that can lead to real damage over time. Get it looked at sooner rather than later.
For emergencies in Stuart, Palm City, and Jensen Beach, we're typically on-site within 1-3 hours depending on time of day and current schedule. We answer the phone 24/7 for true emergencies - things like a burning smell from the panel, complete power loss in Florida heat, or a short circuit that could be a fire risk. Call 772-280-3915 anytime.
Both. Inverter troubleshooting and repair is the more common call, but we also install new inverters and inverter-charger combos. If you're upgrading from a basic converter to a full inverter-charger so you can run AC appliances off your battery bank, we'll size it for your actual loads, run proper gauge wiring, and program the charge profile to match your battery type.
We cover Stuart, Palm City, Jensen Beach, Hobe Sound, and surrounding communities for all RV electrical repairs. From Port Salerno and Sewall's Point up through Indiantown and the Treasure Coast.
