The Top Maintenance Calls In RV Parks
Send us Fan Mail The fastest way to lose money in an RV park isn’t some exotic market shift, it’s the same handful of phone calls that hit owners over and over. We get real about what actually floods the inbox once you’re operating: RV pedestal power problems, water leaks, and the never-ending stream of “I didn’t use that much” utility complaints. If you’re serious about RV park investing or mobile home park investing, this is the unglamorous playbook that protects your cash flow. We walk through why pedestal electrical issues pop up a few times a month, what a good electrician is checking for, and why tightening connections and verifying voltage is about safety as much as service. We also talk water leaks, how often they show up across multiple parks, and why having a dependable handyman or maintenance tech on a predictable rate beats scrambling every time a line bursts. Then we get into utility billing and resident disputes: how we document meter reads with photos, when automated meter reading helps, and why water billing can become such a headache that the smartest move is sometimes to raise rent and include water. We close with the lesson we learned the expensive way: without contract rates and trusted vendors, one holiday call can wipe out a big chunk of your monthly income. If you’re buying a park or already operating one, hit play, share this with a partner, and subscribe for more practical property management lessons. If the episode helps, leave a quick review and tell us what maintenance call you get the most. Support the show Enjoyed this episode?
