Ernies RV & Trailer Repair

05/11/2026

Dear Friends and Customers,

I don’t usually send messages like this, but today I have no choice.

This morning, without any notice, construction began directly in front of Leschi Market as part of the project to rebuild the Leschi South Marina. The parking lot was closed, access to the store is already being restricted, and we have been told this may continue through the summer. We are also being told that some of the already limited parking directly in front of our store will be removed temporarily as part of this work.

For us, this is not just an inconvenience. It is a crisis.

Leschi Market has been serving this community since 1948. For nearly 80 years, and across four generations, we have been here for you. Today, we are asking you to be here for us.

Summer is what keeps our doors open for the rest of the year. With parking gone and access limited, and now the temporary loss of additional front of store parking, we are facing a situation that could put us out of business.

This affects more than just one store. We have about thirty employees who depend on this business to support themselves and their families. Other nearby businesses, including BluWater Bistro and others in the Leschi area, are facing the same reality.

We understand that rebuilding the Leschi South Marina is an important investment in our community and waterfront. However, the way this phase has been implemented, without notice and without a clear plan to preserve access, is putting long standing local businesses at serious risk.

We are asking the City to pause this portion of the project until a workable solution can be found that allows construction to move forward while keeping local businesses accessible.

WE NEED YOUR VOICE

Please take one minute right now to send an email to the City. It truly can make the difference.

I am a customer of Leschi Market and part of the Leschi community.

I am very concerned about the project to rebuild the Leschi South Marina and the impact it is having on Leschi Market and surrounding businesses.

Closing parking and restricting access during the summer, along with the temporary loss of front of store parking, puts these long standing businesses at serious risk of closing.

This project began without notice, and I am asking that it be paused so the City can work with local businesses on a solution that allows them to remain open.

Thank you.

Every email matters. The more people who speak up, the more likely the City is to act.

Thank you for standing with us.

Not just a flat… this is what can turn into a tire blowout. ⚠️

A blowout happens when a tire suddenly loses air pressure—often from weakened spots, deep cracks, or internal damage. On an RV, that’s a big deal. With the extra weight they carry, a blowout can lead to loss of control, vehicle damage, or even an accident.

Signs like bulges, cracking, or worn areas aren’t just cosmetic—they’re warning signals. Regular tire checks help catch these issues early so you can stay safe and enjoy the road ahead. 🚐

Well… there’s your problem 😅 This trailer rolled in with an axle that clearly decided it was done for the day. Safe to say, it's not supposed to look like that.

When you’re living on the road, finding the right shop matters 🚐

One of our customers shared that after their RV water heater failed, they were guided to us and taken care of every step of the way. Even with a small delay, our team made sure they were comfortable and informed throughout the process.

If you also geek out about RVing, I know you'll think this is as cool as we do. Ernie's was just added as a hub to pick up the RV250 Go RVing Travel Passport! 😁

Have you heard about it? Go RVing created a whole celebration for our nation's 250th anniversary (this year!) Participants who travel across the country and share photos and videos from destinations in their Travel Passport have a chance to win $5000!

Even if you don't post a single thing, the passport is great inspiration for all the beautiful places you can visit in your RV.

Stop by when you get a chance if you'd like to pick up a passport and celebrate 🤗

3.5 hours south and worth every mile.

Ernie and the family took a little adventure down to Chinook Falls and came back with these views. Snow still tucked into the trees, crystal clear water, and that quiet you only get deep in the mountains.

Moments like this are why so many people fall in love with RV travel. You pack up your home, point it toward somewhere beautiful, and just go.

Wrapping up another busy week and getting a few more rigs ready for the road ⛅

Another repair underway and one step closer to getting back out on the road.
