Frequently asked questions
At Rolling Rabbit RV Repair, we specialize in towable RVs — including travel trailers, fifth wheels, toy haulers, and pop-ups. Our services focus on all coach systems (everything inside and attached to your RV) and do not include engine, drivetrain, generator, or solar repairs.
We provide a wide range of repair and maintenance services, including:
🔧 Electrical Systems (12V & 120V)
Diagnosing and repairing wiring issues, blown fuses, tripped breakers
Troubleshooting converters, power distribution panels, and battery problems
Fixing or replacing lighting, outlets, switches, and interior/exterior fixtures
Shore power troubleshooting
Electrical issues are among the most common in RVs, and many symptoms overlap. We thoroughly test each part of the system to identify the root cause and ensure a safe repair.
🚿 Plumbing Systems
Fresh water lines, fittings, leaks, faucets, showers
Water pumps not building pressure or cycling
Gray/black tank issues, valve repairs, clogged lines
Tank sensors not reading correctly
Water heater troubleshooting and repairs (tankless & traditional)
We also provide winterization and de-winterization services to protect your plumbing system seasonally.
🔥 Heating & Cooling
Furnace diagnostics and repairs
Air conditioner troubleshooting (cooling, airflow, and thermostat issues)
Thermostat replacements or wiring checks
Ducting or airflow problems
Comfort systems are essential, and we always check for both the mechanical and electrical causes behind temperature issues.
🍳 RV Appliances
Refrigerators (propane/electric), stoves, ovens, microwaves
Water heaters (electric, propane, tankless)
Diagnosing performance issues, error codes, and ignition failures
If an appliance cannot be repaired cost-effectively, we can also handle replacement and installation.
🚐 Slide-Outs & Leveling Systems
Slide motor issues, cables, rails, seals, and alignment
Stabilizer jacks and leveling system troubleshooting (manual or electric)
Many slide issues stem from electrical or mechanical problems that must be diagnosed together — we handle both.
🏠 Roof, Exterior, & Structural Maintenance
Roof inspections & resealing
Minor siding repairs
Awning troubleshooting (won’t retract, arms bent, fabric issues)
Sealant checks around windows, doors, and compartments
Routine exterior maintenance is key to preventing water damage, which is one of the costliest RV issues.

If you “don’t know what’s wrong,” we can help identify the problem quickly and explain the repair options clearly. Many issues require multi-system testing, and our service includes:
Step-by-step diagnosis
Clear explanation of what failed and why
Recommendations to prevent future issues
🔎 RV Inspections (Towables Only)
We also offer premiere-level NRVIA-style RV inspections for towable RVs, ideal for:

New owners who want a complete safety and systems overview
Inspections include detailed reporting, photos, and testing of all major systems.

If you need help finding a specialist for these areas, we can recommend trusted shops in Omaha and surrounding areas.
To help you quickly determine if we’re the right fit for your needs, here’s a clear list of services we do not provide.
At this time, we do NOT work on:

Engine or drivetrain systems
Transmission or differential work
