Default Looking for mechanic

Hello from Portland, Oregon. I just bought a 1996 Roadtrek 190 Popular (YAY) and I’m starting to find out things I could use a mechanic for. Wondering if anyone knows of anyplace that just might specialize in vintage RTs, or some place they’ve had good luck with. Thanks.

I do not have any specific recommendation -- but I have had trouble finding mechanics willing to work on my 1999 Roadtrek. Most are not able to get it up on their lifts, so work has to be done on jackstands. Two mechanics I know and trust won't work on it because they just hate crawling around under it!

Anyway, I have taken to doing everything myself. It is a relatively easy vehicle to work on. Otherwise, you might have best success with RV shops even though they are much more expensive. If you do approach regular mechanics, just make sure to let them know that the standard lift points under the vehicle are covered up by tanks.
