Mr. D RV

Ever notice how the Catskills swallow RVs whole by October? One day your rig hums along Route 17, the next it’s coughing antifreeze on a back road. Mr. D RV sits off Schoolhouse Rd in Middletown, a low-slung shop where the mechanics actually know the difference between a Class A slide-out and a pop-up camper’s lift system. They handle brake jobs, propane leaks, roof reseals, and generator tune-ups without making you feel like you’re speaking a foreign language.

Middletown itself is the kind of town where the Walmart parking lot doubles as an impromptu RV rally every weekend. That means the shop sees everything from vintage Airstreams to diesel pushers that cost more than the house they’re towing. The address—Schoolhouse Rd, Middletown, NY 10940—puts you five minutes from the Thruway, so you’re not stuck limping through downtown traffic with a blown bearing.

When the dashboard lights start flashing like a disco, dial (845) 645-6568 and ask for a slot. They’ll walk you through what’s urgent and what can wait until after the weekend. For directions, pull up the map here and save yourself the guesswork.
