RVRepairVan - Get Your RV Back on the Road

🛟 Need help or found a bug? Get support at support.doodesch.de/rvrepairvan.

Your RV got blown up in the intro? Now you can fix it. A tracked side quest sends you from Donna at the motel to Mrs. Ming to Marco the mechanic, with dead-drop errands, a haggled price and a repair cinematic. After that, Marco turns the RV into a workshop.

Features

• "Back on the Road" questline. After the RV is wrecked in the intro, the quest starts on its own: Donna at the motel -> Mrs. Ming (a dead-drop crate) -> Marco at the docks. Native S1API dialogue, journal and quest tracker.
• Haggling. Marco normally charges $50,000. Mrs. Ming's name gets it to $10,000. Ask him to go lower, fetch his package, then hold out packaged product for up to $500 off each.
• Carried quest items in dead drops (a crate, a package). Lose one and the owner wants $500.
• Repair cinematic when you pay. Plays in both modes.
• Marco's build-outs once the RV stands again: clear out the inside ($2,500), a work floor with 24 more build tiles ($7,500), room for a crew of three ($15,000), a loading dock for your supplier ($25,000), and an engine to drive the RV anywhere ($10,000).
• Save intercom on the RV wall, like in every other property.
• Save-bound progress - quest and repair live in the game save.
• Simple mode (QuestMode = Simple): skip the story, just pay Marco the flat price.

Requirements

• Schedule I 0.4.7f12 (IL2CPP) with MelonLoader 0.7.3+.
• S1API 3.2.1+ (pulled in as a dependency).

Changelog

All notable changes to RVRepairVan are documented in this file. The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

[4.4.0] - 2026-11-09

Added

• The RV shows on the phone map: as a vehicle while you drive it, and as your property wherever it is parked.

[4.3.1] - 2026-11-07

Fixed

• A delivery to the RV loading bay that was still open when you saved arrives complete after loading, instead of a van with only its seats left.

[4.3.0] - 2026-11-02

Added

• New quest "Home on Wheels" after the repair: ask Marco, get the engine, drive onto his lot, buy the workshop floor.
• "Back on the Road" lists its steps in the journal and ticks them off as you go.

Changed

• Marco answers you in the conversation: his price, too little cash, the repair and the build-outs no longer end the talk in a speech bubble.

Fixed

• Steering parts from the bodyshop turn the RV's wheels further, at every speed. Before, they changed nothing.
• Marco's RV choices show after his first greeting. Before, the first talk ended after it.
• Marco's package run carries on after a save is loaded.
• In co-op, "Back on the Road" ends at the RV for every player, not only the host.

For mod authors

• Other mods can read the RV's repair state and send it home through the RV Repair Van API.

[4.2.0] - 2026-10-28

Added

• The hazmat suit and respirator in the RV can be taken out or hung back for free in the bodyshop (Interior, "Cook Gear").

Fixed

• Number key 1 at Marco no longer buys an RV upgrade: his own choices come first again, the RV choices below them.

[4.1.0] - 2026-10-27

Added

• The roof hatch opens again when you leave the driver's seat, if it was open before you drove off.
• With the workshop floor you can build on all free floor: where the kitchen and the decor were, around the bed, and on the left side.
• Lowered suspension and nitro flames show on the RV.

Changed

• Needs Chassis 1.8.0 and Marco's Bodyshop 1.1.0.

Fixed

• The driver's view sits at eye height, not at chest height.
• In co-op, a passenger standing in the moving RV no longer sways for the others, and their view no longer shakes.

[4.0.0] - 2026-10-27

Added

• Marco paints the RV in his metallic, matte and chrome colours, the stripes and accents in a second colour. The paint stays after the trip home and a reload.
• The interior is sold part by part at Marco's Bodyshop. Take out only what you need, put it back later for free.
• The workshop floor is sold at the bodyshop too, with no other upgrade needed. It covers every free bit of floor.
• The roof hatch opens and closes with E from inside, and it shuts when you drive off.
• In the bodyshop menu, a part glows red when it comes out and green when it goes back in.

Changed

• Needs Marco's Bodyshop 1.0.1, Chassis 1.7.1 and Sideload. Old saves with the gutted interior keep every part out and unlocked.

Fixed

• The RV no longer slides sideways when you get out.
• Police no longer walk through the RV's walls. They come in through the door.

[3.6.4] - 2026-10-26

Changed

• The RV pulls harder below 10 km/h, so it gets going faster from a standstill.

Fixed

• The RV gets up steep ramps, like the highway ramp at Hyland Point with Serena Flats, and pulls away on them from a stop. It used to stall and roll back.

[3.6.3] - 2026-10-24

Changed

• The RV quest saves into one file, rv_state.json, instead of 16. Old saves load as before.

Fixed

• A damaged RV save file no longer resets the quest and the upgrades on the next save. The damaged file is kept beside it.

[3.6.2] - 2026-10-22

Fixed

• The new work floor no longer stays red in build mode when something stood in the RV before you bought it.

[3.6.1] - 2026-10-22

Fixed

• Driver and passenger sit on the RV cab chairs with their knees bent. They used to sink into the cushion with their legs stretched out.

[3.6.0] - 2026-10-22

Added

• You and your passenger sit visibly in the RV cab, and the wheel turns as you steer. V switches to first person.
• The driver holds the RV wheel with both hands around the rim, low left and right, and turns with it.

Changed

• Needs Chassis 1.5.0. Horn on G and the indicators come from it.

[3.5.8] - 2026-10-21

Fixed

• Loading an older save no longer resets the RV questline progress.
• An arrest no longer leaves the RV stuck in the police impound. It goes back to its spot at the motel.
• Co-op: the station view no longer shakes while someone else drives the RV.
• Co-op: station ingredients stay put at a steady speed and only slide when the RV speeds up, brakes or turns.
• Building in the RV after a drive: no build spots outside the walls, and turned items stand flat on a slope.

[3.5.7] - 2026-10-16

Fixed

• Co-op: the RV no longer flies up and flips when a friend takes the wheel.
• Co-op: whoever drove the RV stays visible for the others after getting out.
• Co-op: the stock Veeper no longer flashes up for a moment when someone starts to drive.
• The camera no longer drifts off your body after a ride in the moving RV. A camera that already sits off snaps back once you stand on your own.
• The mod does half the work per frame: each of its checks ran twice.

[3.5.6] - 2026-10-16

Changed

• The RV steers like a big vehicle: full lock up to 20 km/h for parking, less lock above that, and the wheel turns slower.

[3.5.5] - 2026-10-16

Added

• Ride along while a friend drives: walk around in the back or take the new passenger seat next to the wheel.
• Stations work on the road. The view moves with the RV, and the bags on a packaging station stay on the table.
• The workshop floor reaches the rear wall, so the space where the bed stood takes racks and machines too.

Fixed

• The RV no longer tips onto its side on the first drive after loading a save.
• Taking the wheel no longer throws the other player out of the RV.

[3.5.4] - 2026-10-15

Fixed

• Co-op: the second player sees the RV drive and gets "Drive" on its seat. On saves past the intro they saw the stock vehicle instead.

[3.5.3] - 2026-10-15

Fixed

• The save intercom and the hazmat suit inside the RV hang flat on the wall. They stood a hand's width off it.

[3.5.2] - 2026-10-15

Fixed

• Co-op: other players see the RV when you drive and park it, not a bare Veeper that glitches out and vanishes after you get out.

[3.5.1] - 2026-10-15

Fixed

• Workers you hire after building the crew quarters walk into the RV and work. They used to wait outside with nothing to do.
• The hazmat suit in the RV hangs flat on a wire hook like an empty suit, not like someone is standing in it.

[3.5.0] - 2026-10-15

Added

• Nods to a certain chemistry teacher's RV: new lines from Marco and Mrs. Ming, and props in and on the RV to find.
• The RV battery can go flat after 3 in-game days unused. Hold a battery at the wheel to swap it; BatteryBreakdowns turns this off.

Changed

• The RV's save intercom sits next to the light switch by the door.

[3.4.0] - 2026-10-15

Added

• The steering wheel says "Missing engine" until Marco gets the engine running.

Fixed

• The quest icon no longer turns into a white square after loading a save.
• With Schedule Maintenance installed, the RV door opens again: its Krystal Ship switches off once your RV is repaired.
• Driving the RV: the camera no longer jerks in and out past poles and power lines.
• Workshop floor: equipment placed before the upgrade no longer leaves a second raster that turns free spots red.

[3.3.0] - 2026-10-15

Added

• The RV's hazards blink while it stands on its home spot, so you can see where getting out puts it back home.

[3.2.2] - 2026-10-15

Fixed

• Parking the RV back on its spot works facing either way, so building and the crew come back after a drive.

[3.2.1] - 2026-10-15

Fixed

• Seeds no longer fall through pots in the RV while it is parked away from home.

[3.2.0] - 2026-10-15

Added

• The RV has a save intercom on the wall behind the door, like every other property.

[3.1.1] - 2026-10-15

Fixed

• The RV knocks people over when you drive into them, like any other car.

[3.1.0] - 2026-10-15

Added

• Marco sells a fifth build-out, Get the engine running ($10,000): drive the RV anywhere. PriceEngine sets the price.
• Parked away, the RV keeps its stations and the items you place in it. Crew and deliveries wait until it is back on its spot.
• Headlights (H), brake and reverse lights work while you drive. The light switch inside works wherever the RV stands.
• The RV rolls and steers on its own tyres, and the entry step folds in while you drive.

Fixed

• A paid repair survives a restart again. On a slow load the RV came back wrecked and Marco asked for the money again.
• The repair sound follows the Master and Sound Effects sliders.
• Small gaps in the RV's walls no longer show the outside.

[3.0.1] - 2026-10-14

Changed

• Donna, Mrs. Ming and Marco got new lines. Every reply tells you where to go next, and Marco talks like he does in the game.
• Marco takes Mrs. Ming's name on your first visit. The extra "Fifty grand?" step is gone.
• "Can you go any lower?" is one choice now. Marco sends you for his package first, then takes packaged product from your hand.
• Marco texts you once the RV is repaired and mentions his build-outs.

[3.0.0] - 2026-10-14

Added

• Marco sells four build-outs once the RV stands again, each with its own cinematic. They build on each other.
  • Gut the interior ($2,500) clears out the bed, bench and cabinets.
  • Build me a workshop floor ($7,500) adds 24 tiles to the RV's 32.
  • Make room for a crew ($15,000): three employees can work in the RV. Place a locker inside.
  • I need a loading dock ($25,000): your supplier delivers to the RV.
• Every price is a setting, as are CrewSize and BuildGridExtraTiles. Marco's offer updates without a restart. UpgradesEnabled turns the shop off.
• InstantRepair fixes the RV for free the moment it is wrecked.
• RepairTakesADay leaves the RV with Marco for 24 in-game hours. He texts you when it is ready.

Changed

• Works on game version 0.4.7 and needs S1API 3.2.1 or newer. With an older S1API the mod loads but does nothing.
• In co-op, whoever pays for the repair, a lost package or a build-out pays from their own cash. Without enough cash the deal is turned down.

Fixed

• Donna, Mrs. Ming and Marco offered no option on game 0.4.7, so the questline could not start.
• Crew hired for the RV stood outside and never worked. They walk in through the door now and work inside.
• After loading, a repaired RV could show "Back on the Road" again with a marker on the RV.
• Loading a save from the main menu could clear your progress and restart the questline.

[2.6.2] - 2026-08-04

Fixed

• Talking to Mrs. Ming could show an option that did nothing when you clicked it, leaving the questline stuck. The same could happen with Donna and Marco.
• When the game is slow handing over an NPC's dialogue, the mod waits for it now. If it never shows up at all, the NPC just says their line out loud and the step still goes through.

[2.6.1] - 2026-08-01

Changed

• Runs on Schedule I 0.4.6f11.
• Needs S1API 3.1.1, up from 3.0.5. Update it along with the mod.

[2.6.0] - 2026-07-08

Added

• The built-in translations are now always visible on disk: next to _template.en.json the mod also writes one template per shipped language - e.g. _template.de.json with the complete German text - into UserData/DooDesch/Localization/RVRepairVan/. Want to tweak a line? Copy the template to de.json, keep the lines you change, done. The templates refresh on every game start, so they always match the installed version.

[2.5.0] - 2026-07-08

Added

• Translation mods: translations can now also be installed as their own code-less mod packages shipping Mods/Localization/RVRepairVan/<language code>.json - so a community translation is one mod-manager click away instead of manual file copying. Per line, your own file in UserData/DooDesch/Localization/ still wins over an installed translation mod, which wins over the built-in texts. How to publish one: https://github.com/DooDesch-Mods/ScheduleOne-L10n/wiki

[2.4.0] - 2026-07-08

Added

• Bring your own translation: the mod now also loads translation files from UserData/DooDesch/Localization/RVRepairVan/<language code>.json. A few lines are enough to fix wording you don't like, and a full file adds a whole language the mod never shipped. Your entries always win over the built-in English/German.
• To make that easy, the mod writes _template.en.json into that folder on startup, listing every translatable string. Copy it, rename it to e.g. fr.json, translate the values, restart - done. Full guide: https://github.com/DooDesch-Mods/ScheduleOne-L10n/wiki
• The localization layer now lives in its own open-source project, ScheduleOne-L10n, so other mods can use the same system (and share the same Language setting).

[2.3.0] - 2026-07-08

Added

• German translation. The whole questline - journal entries, objectives, all of Donna's/Mrs. Ming's/Marco's dialogue and the quest items - is now available in German.
• Automatic language pick: German systems get German, everything else gets English (the game itself has no language setting, so the OS language decides).
• A shared Language setting (under DooDesch in MelonPreferences.cfg / the Mod Manager UI) to force a language: auto, en or de. Other DooDesch mods will use the same setting as they pick up translations.

[2.2.1] - 2026-07-01

Fixed

• The quest marker now tracks Marco, Mrs. Ming and Donna as they move around town, instead of freezing at wherever the target happened to be standing when the objective updated. Following the marker now leads you straight to the right person even while they walk their daily route.

[2.2.0] - 2026-06-24

Fixed

• Multiplayer co-op now works end to end and has been verified in a real two-player session: both players can play through the entire repair questline together. The previous build shipped co-op as experimental; this release fixes the issues that kept it from working.
• The joining player now gets the repair quest from Donna and sees the same quest progress as the host, instead of having no dialogue option or a different quest state.
• Both players can see, pick up, carry and hand in the errand items (Ming's crate, Marco's package). The quest advances no matter which player makes the delivery, and the pay-instead fallback still applies if the item is lost.
• The dead-drop marker now points to a valid drop for the joining player; previously the marker could lead to nothing on the client.
• Giving Marco samples to lower the price works for the joining player too, and the discount stays in sync for both players.
• Quest items are now reliably removed from the joining player's inventory once they are handed in.

[2.1.0] - 2026-06-24

Fixed

• Giving Marco a packaged sample no longer fails with "That ain't packaged" while you are holding sealed product. The check now reads your inventory instead of the in-hand item, which the game empties while a conversation is open.
• Each sample's discount is now based on the value of the single package you hand over, rather than scaling with how many were left in the stack.
• The quest marker (the wrench) could end up pointing nowhere after returning to the main menu and reloading a save; it now re-points to the right target once the world finishes loading.

Added

• You can now choose which packaged product to give Marco: the dialogue lists each packaged product you are carrying together with the discount it would give.
• Marco actually consumes the sample you hand him now (the matching smoke/snort/eat animation and effects), instead of just taking it.
• Marco pays more for cleaner product and less for junk: the per-sample discount is scaled by quality (Trash 0.6x up to Heavenly 2.0x).
• Experimental host-authoritative co-op support. Single-player is unaffected; co-op has only had limited testing, so please report any multiplayer issues.

[2.0.1] - 2026-06-17

Added

• Marco now shows a persistent "What can I bring to lower the price?" reminder once you have earned his trust (after the package favour). It explains that bringing packaged product lowers the bill, so players who skipped the dialogue still know how to keep progressing and afford the repair. It appears whenever you are not currently holding product to hand over (when you are, the "give a sample" action is shown instead).

[2.0.0] - 2026-06-17

A ground-up rebuild on S1API with a full story questline, real items, save-bound persistence and a repair cinematic.

Added

• "Back on the Road" questline (default QuestMode = Questline): the RV is wrecked in the intro, then Donna points you to Mrs. Ming, who sends you on a dead-drop crate errand, who refers you to Marco the mechanic at the docks.
• Native S1API dialogue: real in-conversation choices and replies (no more floating worldspace-only bubbles).
• Referral pricing: Marco charges $50,000 up front, dropping to $10,000 once you tell him "Mrs. Ming sent me". Optional packaged-sample discounts cut the bill further, down to the repair-price floor.
• Real carried items in dead drops (Ming's Crate, Marco's Package) cloned from in-game items so they have a proper inventory icon and in-hand model. Lose one and the NPC charges a $500 recovery fee to continue.
• Repair cinematic when you pay: the screen fades to black, repair sounds play, Marco grunts as he works, then it fades back and he tells you it is done. Plays in both Questline and Simple mode.
• A wrench quest icon in the journal/HUD tracker.
• Settings: QuestMode, BasePriceNoReferral, BasePriceWithReferral, MinSampleDiscount, MaxSampleDiscount (plus the existing Enabled, RepairPrice).

Changed

• Persistence is now bound to the game save (via the S1API save system): progress is written when the game saves and read on load, so it stays in sync with the world. Finishing the quest without saving (or after a crash) correctly reverts, instead of leaving the quest stuck or the RV unrepairable.
• "Simple" mode (QuestMode = Simple) repairs directly at Marco for the flat RepairPrice and now also plays the repair cinematic.
• Repair sounds route through the game audio mixer, so they respect the in-game volume settings.

Fixed

• Delivered quest items now correctly leave the inventory.
• The quest reliably starts once the RV is actually wrecked and the intro has passed, and never flickers on an intact RV.
