HI Folks, I m new to motor homes and just bought a 2008 tiffin allegro bus in Sep. I took it to Freightliner and had it serviced and all is good. What I want to do now is have the "house" checked out, the slides checked and whatever else should be done. My question is: does anyone have a recommendation for someone who does this kind of service in my Area?? I live in Redmond, WA.
Thanks, John

YMMV, but for routine "check it out" stuff, I recommend you take a little time and research each topic on YouTube, ask questions here, and maybe find a fellow RV'r that you know has experience.

I say this especially now because dealers/repair are SWAMPED in this area. Between new sales and Warranty work, restricted hours, and general lack of really experienced techs.

I have found that most things, are pretty easy to deal with if they come up. The great thing about YOU finding an issue is that at least if it does require work, you can find out all the "gotcha's" to look for to make sure it's done right.

Much like in boating.. it's pretty easy to find a tech to "fix" something. Finding one that's experienced enough to spot "potential issues" that's a tough ask.

You might give Evergreen RV on Aurora at about North 162 st. They are a small family owned operation...a phone call and a few questions won’t hurt or cast a dime.

Try Valley RV great to work with. https://www.valleyrvsupercenter.com/

You might find that a trip down to Beaver Coach Sales in Bend Oregon is worth the trip. They have a special relationship with Bob Tiffin and sell his coaches.

Or You can also call Infinity in Renton.

Why not just use everything? Drive it.
Slides. Jacks. Appliances. Water heater. Furnace. A/C., Etc.
All fit and finish items. Get on roof and check out seams, etc. Crawl underneath and spend an hour.
Costs nothing but your time.

I recommend Camano RV and Welding .

Dennis is an independent operator and is a certified tech for Onan , Dometic , Atwood to name a few . He also provides a mobile service .

He's done work on our coach , he gives accurate estimates and does the work in a timely manner.

I can't really think of a reputable RV house service provider on the eastside but I second Infinity Coach. It's actually in Sumner so you'd have to navigate traffic down 405 and 167 but they've always treated us right. Jim is the owner and he's usually around to help and give advice.

eta: I have heard good things about Camano RV as Bill Gail recommends if it's easier to head north but I've never personally used them.

2nd edit: I do like Desdinova's and awol50's advice too. If you have time, start checking things out yourself and if you find things that need attention or you are not sure about, then you can take it to a shop. It will give you the opportunity to get to know your coach plus can save you some money also.
