In the most important of disclaimers- we bought this RV preowned from people who took great care of their vehicle. This was not a forgotten RV rotting away in someone’s backyard- this was something that was cared for.

We didn’t actually end up paying any of this as we disputed the charge through Chase this was the total for the bill. The super shady RV mechanic told us that had fixed another problem we had as well but lied through his teeth. We also had a check engine light on immediately after leaving the mechanic. What a dirtbag.

Fan for Bathroom Exhaust: $7.34
Propane LP Leak Detector: $87
Electric Box $11
