About Complete RV

Serving Missouri's RV Community with Integrity and Experience

In 1973, founder Bob Barks opened the original Complete service shop in Dellwood, Missouri. The focus was automotive, truck, and motorcycle repair, and the promise was simple: honest service, quality work, and real relationships with every customer.

That promise moved with the business to St. Charles in 1975, and it grew. Today Complete RV is a full-service RV center at 3309 New Town Blvd for motorhomes, travel trailers, fifth wheels, toy haulers, and campers, with RV maintenance and repair, RV body, paint and collision repair, parts and tires, secure RV storage and RV consignment, plus auto and truck repair. The building is bigger, but the values haven't changed in more than 50 years.
