TOAD setup in Snohomish County

Anyone got a line on a place to take my motorhome and Jeep, where I can get the Air Force-1 installed, as well a tow bar and baseplate? I'm looking more for a reliable installer/servicer in Snohomish county rather than cheapness right now. Although, someone who can get me a good quote would be appreciated as well.

The service department where I bought my motorhome is less than communicative after several attempted contact attempts, so I'm looking for someone who answers the phone, reads the email, etc.

Thanks for reading, and have a great day!

We chose Roadmaster and had it done at Roy Robinson RV. I expect that they will do any brand. We were very satisfied with their service, but they are usually booked out a ways.

I still, have my Invisabrake system if you are interested. I'll sell it cheap and donate the proceeds to a local charity.

If it's not too far for you to go (but definitely closer than Torklift, lol ...or perahaps not necessarily closer but easier to access as I personally would not want to fight my way through Seattle or the Eastside), we've had really good experiences at JR's RV Repair & Rebuild. They're in Sedro Wolley. They have an excellent reputation in the area. They are both an authorized dealer for Demco/Air force One and Roadmaster (tow bars and base plates). I highly recommend JR's.

If staying close to the Lake Stevens area is important and you need to choose between Roy Robinson and Poulsbo RV, definitely take it to Roy Robinson!! RV dealerships usually don't have the best reputations and their service departments charge very high prices but like I say, Roy Robinson is one of the better dealerships in my opinion. (I say this will all due respect to rream).

One other place that I've never used but I do have in my notes about being a good place to buy tow bars and hitch supplies (I've taken notes through the years when I hear good or bad things from other RVers about service establishments), is Arlington RV and Welding Supplies. They are an authorized dealer for both Demco (Air Force One) and Roadmaster. However, I have no idea if they do the "whole enchilada" as you want done or not but you may want to call them to see. They'd be a bit closer to your location.

They have no working website but here is their Facebook page: Arlington RV and Welding Supplies

Arlington 98223

Arlington RV and Welding is a great local independent Shop.

They have a full store of accessories and parts and a large shop area.

Their techs are certified and do good work.

Thanks for all the great suggestions.

I've also heard good things about Arlington RV and JRs, from other sources.

After getting pretty much ghosted by the dealer that sold me the motorhome, I wanted to go elsewhere, somewhere in Snohomish county or even Skagit county. Arlington and Sedro-Woolley are both in easy range, so I'll be getting quotes from both of those guys. I'll also be checking with Roy Robinson, but with their long lead time, it might be a no go.

Don't really have a high opinion of Poulsbo RV, but I may give them a shout anyway.

Thanks again for all the great info, and a have a great day!

Our setup was done at Poulsbo Everett as was under a tight timeframe. Poulsbo MT Vernon was out by several months. Tried RV Country but the price was way high compared to Poulsbo. Happy with the work done

Thanks for the heads up. I've shot out an email query to them. Any particular person I should talk to there?

Thanks again!

Very good experience with Roy Robinson

I have had several RV’s serviced or repaired at Roy Robinson over the last 20 years. They did great work and the price was reasonable. My waits were never more than a few weeks.
