We’re a local, family-owned and operated business, proud to be New Bern’s most trusted RV repair shop for over 20 years, serving generations of neighbors, friends, and families.
We take a lot of pride in what we do, and we treat your RV like it’s our own. Every job is handled with care, attention to detail, and a commitment to doing things the right way. Trust is earned through honesty, consistency, and standing behind our work - not through shortcuts or empty promises.
Our family’s name is on this business, and that means everything to us.

Hello, this is James.
​
I wanted to tell you a little about the history of this business and who we are.
My father, Tony Hobbes, has been in the RV industry since the late 70s. Working on RVs day in and day out over the last 40+ years, there aren't many scenarios that he hasn't encountered in some way, shape, or form. From typical every day maintenance to unique “thinking outside the box” modifications, he has done it.
​
Around 11 years old, I developed an eager interest in hands on labor--turning wrenches, using a drill, tying some wires together, and getting my hands dirty became my favorite childhood hobbies. During the summers, I remember being out of school and following on dad's heels with a tool bag or running to the toolbox for him.
In late 2005, Tony Hobbes & Son RV was born. My dad started our business with a bag full of tools, a hand shake to rent a 50x50 bay in the back of another business, a few bucks loaned by the bank, and a simple vision.
​
Today our business has grown to a place that we never imagined. My dad and I still work side-by-side every day resolving any concerns that our customers present to us. We take pride in the work we do, and we value the loyalty and satisfaction of our customers. Our business is our livelihood--our business provides for our families--and we operate it as such.
We feel if there is one thing that gives us an edge on other RV shops, it's the 1-on-1 relationship we have with our customers. The same people making the repairs to your unit will be the ones you call if you have any additional concerns after the service. They're also the ones who will be available to help you connect or disconnect when you arrive and complete other repairs in years to come as needed.
On behalf of the entire Hobbes family, we thank you for trusting us with your RV or trailer.
Sincerely,
James Hobbes
