Polk County, with Lakeland as its biggest city, is one of the busiest RV areas in Florida. It sits between Tampa and Orlando on I-4, and is full of lakes and long-stay RV resorts, especially around Winter Haven, Haines City, Davenport, Lake Wales and along US 27.
Where we work
RV resorts and 55+ parks across Polk County. Lakefront campgrounds. RV storage lots around Lakeland and Winter Haven. Parks along US 27 from Davenport to Frostproof. And I-4 between Plant City and Davenport.
What we see here
Snowbird season. Polk's RV resorts fill up in winter. Every fall, RVs that sat through the summer wake up with dead batteries. Many of those batteries can't be saved, and we replace them in the resort.
Inland heat. Polk is inland, and summer days are hot. Batteries in closed compartments get very hot. That shortens lead-acid life. See how long RV batteries last in Florida.
Park models and older RVs. Some long-stay units rarely move. Their chassis batteries are often years old.
Services people ask for
Seasonal battery care, replacement, and RV park service where several residents need help the same week.
Sun 'n Fun and spring training
Lakeland hosts the Sun 'n Fun Aerospace Expo every April at Lakeland Linder International Airport, and many attendees camp in RVs. The Detroit Tigers hold spring training in Lakeland. Both bring RVs to town.
Between Tampa and Orlando
Lakeland sits on I-4 about halfway between Tampa and Orlando. It is a common stop for RVers heading east or west, and a lot of our calls here come from the interstate.
Nearby
Tampa to the west, Kissimmee to the east, Sebring to the south.
