⚠️ This Could Have Been Much Worse…

I passed this motorhome stranded on the side of the highway and decided to turn around and check on them.

What started as a tire blowout turned into a major failure:
Entry steps torn up
Hydraulic lines damaged (leveling + slides)
Diesel filler neck ripped out
Extensive side damage, both inside and outside.
And that’s just what we could see.

The scary part?
This was preventable.
The remaining tires:
~5/32 tread
~6 years old
~40,000+ miles
That’s right in the danger zone for RV tires—especially under heavy loads at highway speeds.

👉 RV tires don’t fail the same way car tires do.
They age out before they wear out.

Thankfully, the driver kept control and got safely to the shoulder. That doesn’t always end that way—especially with families on board.

Here’s the takeaway:
If you own an RV, you should be doing at least an annual inspection that includes:
Tire age (DOT date)
Tread depth
Sidewall condition (cracking/dry rot)
Proper inflation under load

Because when a tire lets go on something this big… it’s not just a flat—it’s a chain reaction.

If you’re not sure what to look for, that’s exactly why I offer inspections.

🚨 ROOF MAINTENANCE IS NOT OPTIONAL 🚨

This 46’ horse trailer came to me with a roof that was completely failing.

Cracked sealant, dried-out seams, and multiple potential leak points. Its just a matter of time before serious water damage set in.

👉 And here’s the reality…
Most RV and trailer owners don’t even realize there’s a problem until it’s too late.

Water intrusion doesn’t just stay on the roof—
It leads to:
• Rotten wood
• Mold
• Electrical issues
• Thousands in repairs

🔧 What we did:
✔ Removed failing sealant
✔ Prepped and cleaned all surfaces properly
✔ Resealed all seams, vents, and penetrations
✔ Reinforced vulnerable areas

Now this roof is sealed up right and ready for years of use 💪

Takeaway:
If your RV or trailer has been sitting, or it’s been over a year since your last inspection… you’re rolling the dice.

Let’s make sure your rig is road-ready before your next trip.

🚨 “It was working fine last season…” 🚨

That’s what I hear all the time.

Today’s call was for a leveling system failure…
👉 No response from controls
👉 Error messages
👉 Jacks wouldn’t operate

After inspection, the real issue showed up…

🐭 Rodents.

They had chewed through critical wiring underneath the RV, completely disabling the system.

⚠️ A sitting RV is the perfect home for rodents.
Warm. Covered. Undisturbed.

And they don’t just move in… they destroy:
• Wiring harnesses
• Leveling systems
• Slide-outs
• HVAC systems
• Plumbing

💸 Small problem → BIG repair bill.

🔧 What we did on this repair:
✔ Repaired damaged wiring by splicing in new sections
✔ Used weather-resistant (sealed) connections
✔ Installed new protective wire loom
✔ Secured and rerouted wiring for better protection
✔ Sealed vulnerable entry points in the underbelly
✔ Fully tested leveling system to confirm proper operation

✅ System back up and working properly

🚐 Don’t wait until something stops working.

At D&S Custom Conversions, we can:
✔ Inspect for rodent damage
✔ Identify and seal entry points
✔ Repair and protect critical systems
✔ Get your RV truly RoadReady™

Introducing the RoadReady™ RV Maintenance Program

After working on RVs for years, I’ve noticed a pattern…
Most RV problems don’t start as major failures.

They start as small issues that go unnoticed.
A cracked roof seal turns into water damage.
A weak battery turns into electrical problems.
A loose plumbing fitting turns into a leak.

And unfortunately, many RV owners don’t discover these things until they’re already on a trip.

That’s exactly why I created the RoadReady™ Program.

RoadReady™ is a preventative maintenance membership designed to help RV owners stay ahead of problems with
professional inspections and system checks throughout the year.

Depending on the plan, members receive:
✔ Scheduled RV inspections
✔ Full system checks (roof, electrical, plumbing, appliances)
✔ Preventative maintenance recommendations
✔ Priority scheduling
✔ Mobile service options
✔ Labor discounts on repairs

The goal is simple:
Keep your RV safe, reliable, and ready for your next trip.
If you own an RV and want peace of mind before your next adventure, this program was built for you.

**Launch Special**
To celebrate launching the program, the first 20 RoadReady™ members will receive $100 off their membership.

If you own an RV and want peace of mind before your next adventure, this program was built for you.

Another custom skoolie transformation complete.

This one was designed as a "partial build", giving the owner the freedom to complete cabinetry and flooring herself while we focused on the structural and technical backbone of the bus.

Here’s what went into this build:
✔ 12” Roof Raise
✔ Custom 3-Tone Exterior Paint
✔ 16’ Electric Awning
✔ 1600 Watts of Solar
✔ 800 Amp Battery Bank
✔ Full Electrical System with 5000W Inverter
✔ Plumbing Rough-In
✔ Full Shower + Composting Toilet
✔ Washer & Dryer Hookups
✔ 12k BTU Mini Split
✔ Tow Hitch
✔ Small Roof Top Deck
✔ Privacy Door System (bathroom-only closure OR full living area separation)

This build was all about prioritizing what matters most interior height, power, comfort, and infrastructure so the owner could confidently complete the finishing touches herself.
We love builds like this. Solid foundation. Serious power. Real craftsmanship.

If you’re dreaming of a roof raise, solar system, or custom conversion whether full build or partial let’s talk.

Freedom to Roam, Crafted to Last.

A little late of a post, but this project we wrapped up late last year — and one that took an unexpected (but awesome) turn.
We originally bought this fire truck with plans to turn it into our own company rig. As the build direction evolved and priorities shifted, the opportunity came up to pass it on to someone with a big vision.
In the end, we sold it to a customer who’s turning it into their company show rig, taking it to truck shows, parades, and events where it can really shine.
While it didn’t become our rig, we couldn’t be happier with where it landed. This truck was built to be seen — and now it’ll be out doing exactly that.
Sometimes projects don’t change plans… they upgrade them 🚒🔥

It’s been a while since I’ve shared progress on this bus — and that’s on us, and we are sorry!
So instead of a quick update, here’s the whole story.
This project is a partial conversion, meaning the owner will complete the final personal touches herself. Our job was to handle the heavy structural and system work and deliver a solid, livable platform she can build on with confidence.
Over the course of this build, we’ve completed:
🔹 12” roof raise for standing room and airflow
🔹 4 new RV windows for light, ventilation, and safety
🔹 Removal of the wheelchair lift door, fully framed and sealed
🔹 Fresh pine tongue-and-groove interior paneling
🔹 75 gallons of fresh water storage
🔹 Full off-grid solar and electrical system
🔹 Mini-split climate control
🔹 Fresh exterior paint
At this stage, the bus is no longer a shell — it’s a finished foundation.
What’s left on our end is the roof-top deck and a few small interior details before she takes it home to make it uniquely hers.
If you’re thinking about a conversion but don’t want a cookie-cutter RV, this kind of hybrid approach is a powerful option — professional systems work combined with owner-driven creativity.
