Coachcraft by MacDonald

What Coachcraft by MacDonald does

Coachcraft by MacDonald is a family-owned RV maintenance, repair, and customization company founded in 1989 by Frank and Brad MacDonald and headquartered in a single facility at 1370 Belinda Drive in Columbus, Georgia. The company serves owners of luxury motorhomes and coaches, with a particular specialization in Wanderlodge vehicles — it is the last certified Wanderlodge repair center in the USA. The customer base extends to other premium brands including Country Coach, Newmar, Foretravel, Prevost, and Newell, with use cases spanning routine maintenance, mechanical and chassis repairs, full interior restorations, collision and insurance work, vintage classic restoration, and specialty modifications such as hydralift installations.

The company operates three core service lines: Mechanical and Chassis (regular maintenance, chassis repairs, slide room repairs, fuel tank services, electrical repair, generator and air conditioning service, hydralift installations); Interior Repair and Restoration (ceilings, flooring, cabinetry, plumbing, appliances, and full interior overhauls); and Bodyshop and Insurance Work (collision repair, custom lighting, awnings, and insurance claims coordination). All work is performed on-site at the Columbus, GA facility, requiring customers to transport vehicles to the location. The company supplements billable service with Coach Care Resources (downloadable checklists, winterizing guides, and tire care documentation) and maintains a YouTube channel featuring technical content with co-founder Brad MacDonald.

Coachcraft's revenue model is professional services on a quote-based, pay-as-you-go cadence, with inbound requests handled through the ShopMonkey platform and direct phone/email contact. Marketing is primarily driven by word-of-mouth within the RV enthusiast community, sponsored Wanderlodge events, Family RVing Magazine features, and a Facebook page. The business remains under MacDonald family ownership with no disclosed external investors or institutional funding.
