Looking for a Mobile RV Tech in the Central Florida area

Hi all;

My wife and I own a 2024 Unity RL and live in The Villages. We purchased our RV from Grezeny’s for Lakeland. We have also had it serviced there but have been disappointed multiple times. Therefore we are looking for a reliable Mobile RV tech in the area that we can use for different service needs. if you have any recommendations please let me know.

Hi Gary and Bernadette:


I hope you find a reliable mobile RV tech in central Florida, too.


If you, do, Chris Haddad and I (Suzanne Kennedy) sure could use one for our 2021 Unity RL. We are in central Brevard County, FL.

We were unable to attend the fall rally but hoped to attend the spring one. I see conflicting information that it is sold out and other info that tickets will go on sale early2026. Can anyone clarify which is true? Thanks

Little BIG Van will be spending Christmas "On the Road" again this year. Using our Florida Residency "Head Start" program we were able to get reservations at Stephen Foster SP and Silver Springs SP, two of our favorites. We are hoping that they still have enough money to put up the Christmas lights at Stephen Foster!


HO!, HO!, HO! to everybody and wishing safe travels to all in 2026!

Gas Valve

One of the valves on my stove top will not allow the burner to stay on. When you release the knob, the burner extinguishes. I have cleaned it but the problem persist. I beleive I have a bad valve that no longer releases the gas flow once the it has heated. I have tried removing the valve with no luck.


Any ideas?

This may help.


 The  thermocouple is an electo-mechanical safety device that senses if the pilot flame in an RV appliance is present. If the pilot flame goes out, the thermocouple will automatically shut off the flow of gas through the gas valve, thereby removing the fuel source and preventing the accumulation of explosive gas mixtures.

When the thermocouple is heated by the pilot flame, a small electrical current is generated. This micro current powers an electromagnet in the main appliance valve which holds open the valve that supplies the propane to the appliance.

If the pilot flame goes out, the electrical current is interrupted, the electromagnet is de-energized, and the valve closes automatically.

When lighting the pilot flame, allow the thermocouple to heat up for 30 seconds or so before releasing the valve button. If the pilot refuses to stay lit after several attempts, try gently cleaning the contacts where the thermocouple screws into the main valve body. When re-tightening this contact, screw it in finger tight, then tighten 1/4 turn with a wrench. If the pilot still will not stay lit then replace the thermocouple.

If you don't get any pilot flame at all or the flame is too weak to activate the thermocouple, your pilot orifice may be plugged, or partially plugged.
