ABOUT US

CAMPING COMMUNITY ROOTS
April has been a part of the RV community for over 10 years. Currently run by April Benson, her wife, and partnerships with qualified and experienced RV technician friends, April has been on both sides of the RV experience. As a consumer, she has encountered nearly every experience you can imagine living full-time on the road in her motorhome for over ten years. In 2018, April took the leap from consumer to mobile technician certified and spent several weeks learning about the advanced technical landscape of the RV world, and has now accumulated several years of experience and counting working as a dealership technician in South Jersey.
CUSTOMER MOTIVATED
April had dealt with countless failed “fixes” from mobile mechanics in the past claiming to know how to fix the issue she was having as a consumer, only for it to break hours or days later. She was tired of getting let down and watching her fellow campers get bad service, and wanted to be a part of the solution instead of watching the same disappointments and temporary fixes.

 

CERTIFIED AND EXPERIENCED
Now a PDI Certified mobile and dealership technician, April wants to help others get back on the road and feel assured that their repair will be actually fixed, and have peace of mind for their next camping adventure!
