Real Repairs. Real Inspections. Real-World RV Education.

Welcome to In the RV Shop with Dustin, where we share real-world repairs, maintenance issues, upgrades, inspections, product reviews, and lessons we see every day inside a working RV repair facility.

This is where RV owners can look behind the scenes and learn from real repairs happening in the shop.

From water damage and slide-out concerns to suspension upgrades, roof repairs, warranty repairs and product reviews—this is where practical RV ownership education comes to life.

Because sometimes the best way to learn is from what comes through the shop.
