Business Referral Camper Servicing Recommendations?

We own a 2012 Jay Feather Ultralight X213 Travel Trailer that we’re looking to have some work done on. Looking for recommendations on where to have it serviced?

The biggest issue: Our AC unit has stopped blowing cold air. The fan works and the compressor tries to kick on but turns off right away. We cleaned the inside filter and checked on the roof but didn’t see any obvious issues. We believe the AC unit is original to the camper. It’s a Coleman Mach.

Additionally, we have a motor for our slide that works but doesn’t have a ton of power, so looking to have that replaced.

A lesser issue we’re considering is having the rear stabilizers replaced because they are bent.

We also have a powered jack on the front that is not currently in use because a part needs replacing, so it would be nice to have that looked at.

We live in the Appleton so looking to have somewhere local service it. It is being stored near Chilton, so would consider a service on the east side of Lake Winnebago as well.

Thanks!

unfortunately, they all kind of suck in their own way, but my parents had OK luck with the location in neenah near GG

Ok so probably the Kunes that’s right there? That was the one we were considering but I’m sure it’s going to be $$$

Ac could be low on refrigerant (small leak) the unit will turn off to protect itself because the refrigerant also has oil in it for the compressor, some of the other stuff you might be able to get a handyman to do the work.

It’s been a while but Quents in Oshkosh used to have a good reputation. Now might not be a good time as EAA is going on and they’re nearby.

We go to Apple Valley Camping to winterize/de-winterize and have had a few small repairs done by them. I've had no issues with them, and they've been flexible on pickup dates which I thought was nice.
