Face First Offers Non-Surgical Medical Services by A Registered Nurse Certified Medical Injector

My name is Adam Nelson.  I am a U.S. Army Veteran. I served Active Duty as a UH-60 Black Hawk Helicopter Repairer.  After receiving an honorable discharge and starting a family in Nebraska, we soon began to struggle.  In 2013, we were having trouble finding a place to live.  We bought our first camper in Iowa and decided to RV around the country.

After learning a lot on our own Travel Trailer, I began to help others around me with theirs.  In the field of Recreational Vehicle repair, I was able to put to work my technical skills from the Army as well as a strong passion to serve others.  After working for a few RV dealerships from Texas to Arkansas, I was laid off on Veterans Day of 2015. 

In 2016, with little job opportunities available, I started my own Mobile RV Repair service in Van Buren, AR.  The word quickly spread about my skills and abilities to repair RV's of all different types.  Serving so many RV'ers in the surrounding area allowed us to further expand our business. That year, we were able to afford a much-needed service trailer.  After just a few years and another move to Greenwood, AR we got yet another much larger service truck. 

We have proudly served the Oklahoma/Arkansas area since 2016.  We are brand new to Wister, Oklahoma, as of 2020 and we look forward to serving our community!  Whether they are full time workers, folks out camping, or just passing through, we are here to help them enjoy their RV experience with their families!   We offer a 15% discount to Veterans, Military, and all Emergency Personnel.  As always, we offer 10% off to all return customers.

We can do most warranty, insurance, and extended warranty work.  We are an RV parts dealer as well.  We look forward to serving all the folks in our new community as well as the greater area!

Nelson Mobile RV Repair.
