A Family Affair
Our Story
Kyle and his family left Southwest Missouri in 2018 to travel full time in their 5th wheel trailer. They have 2 girls who love adventures and “going camping”.
That Mobile RV Guy came about after Kyle and his family experienced a series of “mechanical mishaps” during the first couple of months of traveling. It became apparent that they couldn’t rely on repair facilities to help them as they were either too booked up or would require them to leave the trailer at the shop – neither option would work for a full time family. So Kyle began to put his fix-it skills to the trailer. The more he worked on his trailer, as well as his in-laws trailer, the more people would come up and ask if he could come work on their trailers. As Kyle looked into the RV repair industry, he realized the incredible need for quality repair technicians.
Since then, Kyle has been helping people around the country currently as a Level 1 RV Mechanic with the RV Technical Institute (RVTI) and as a Certified Advisor with the The American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) and previously as a Certified RV Inspector with the National RV Inspectors Association (NRVIA) (2019-2024). After a few years of doing tech work, Kyle began getting more and more requests for work on solar systems. So in 2022, Kyle became a certified Victron Installer and That Mobile RV Guy evolved into doing RV solar installations. In 2024, That Mobile RV Guy joined the American Boating and Yacht Council as a Certified Advisor.
That Mobile RV Guy has grown to be a family affair, a family run mobile business. In the beginning of 2023, That Mobile RV Guy shifted to a solar only business model, focusing on troubleshooting, upgrading, and providing mobile RV solar installations of all sizes to all types of RV’s. Kyle’s brother, Matthew, and his wife, Lori came on board in 2023.
