Mobile RV maintenance
Keep hot-water maintenance on your camping checklist. RV Steward offers mobile water heater service and tankless descaling at homes, storage lots and permitted campsites around Woodstock and across our Southern Ontario service area.
Tankless does not mean maintenance-free. Minerals can accumulate inside the heater and affect heat transfer. Descaling removes deposits using a cleaning method compatible with the unit. Filter maintenance and a fresh-water rinse are also important parts of the manufacturer's procedure.
Send the brand, model number, service history and any error code. Furrion, Girard, Suburban and Truma units should not be treated as interchangeable. We confirm the procedure and service scope before booking.
Lippert's Furrion guide uses a pump to circulate 5% distilled white vinegar for 45–60 minutes, followed by draining, filter care and a fresh-water flush. That is a model-dependent example, not a universal recipe.
AquaGo requires Truma decalcification tablets, not vinegar. Comfort models use a controlled cleaning cycle; Basic models have different service requirements. Complete the prescribed rinse before using the RV water supply again.
We confirm access and model compatibility, review the symptoms, carry out the agreed water-side maintenance and check for leaks and hot-water operation afterward. Any additional repairs are discussed separately. Pricing depends on the heater, access, condition and travel location.
For owners doing maintenance themselves: follow the complete manufacturer procedure for cooling, isolation and pressure relief before opening the system. Do not mix cleaning chemicals or use the RV water supply during cleaning. This overview does not replace your model's instructions.
Tell us whether your RV is in Woodstock, London, Hamilton, Kitchener-Waterloo or another nearby community. For campground visits, include the park name and site number and confirm outside service access. Descaling does not replace your heater's winterizing procedure.

Descaling and winterizing serve different purposes. Discuss both when planning maintenance so the quote accounts for your heater model and the work you need.
Follow your exact model's maintenance schedule. Water hardness and hot-water use affect the interval. Truma AquaGo guidance ranges from once a year to more frequent cleaning with harder water and heavier use. Send your model number and last service date so we can check the appropriate schedule.
No. Lippert describes a white-vinegar procedure for Furrion units, but Truma AquaGo requires its own decalcification tablets and prohibits vinegar. Always check the exact model manual before choosing a cleaner.
No. Mineral deposits are only one possible cause. Water supply, filters, controls and other faults can need separate diagnosis. Send a photo of the model label and any displayed error code before booking.
Descaling and freeze protection are separate tasks. Ask for tankless descaling when requesting your winterizing quote so we can confirm the scope, supplies and appointment time.
Send your heater model and RV location. We'll confirm availability and provide a quote before work begins.
