# Whittier, Los Angeles County, and the Run Down the I-605 > OCRV Center serves Whittier and Los Angeles County from a facility in Yorba Linda, roughly twenty minutes east. The shop is not in Whittier. It is the shop Whittier owners drive to, and the run is one freeway for most of the city. **URL:** https://ocrv.art/inside/geography **Entity:** OCRV Center, 23281 La Palma Ave, Yorba Linda, CA 92887 **Serves:** Whittier, Los Angeles County, California. The facility is in Yorba Linda, not in Whittier. **Phone:** (949) 799-3387 ## Getting here From central Whittier the run is the I-605 south to the SR-91 east, then surface streets to 23281 La Palma Ave. Off peak it is about twenty minutes. During the afternoon peak on the 605 it is closer to forty. From the eastern side of the city the SR-72 through La Habra is frequently faster than the freeway, and it avoids the 605 and 91 interchange entirely. Towing a fifth wheel or a Class A, take the freeway rather than Whittier Boulevard. The surface route has turns that are tight with anything long behind you. ## Uptown Whittier Uptown sits on the older street grid with narrow alleys and limited overnight parking for anything large. Coaches stored here are usually stored elsewhere and brought in. For Uptown owners the practical route is Whittier Boulevard east to the 605 south, then east on the 91. ## Friendly Hills and College Hills Both sit on the slope, which matters more than it sounds. Coaches parked on a grade for months develop uneven load on the leveling system and on the slide mechanisms, and that shows up as a slide that no longer synchronizes. Driveway grade is also the most common source of rear cap and hitch scrape damage in this part of the city. ## Whittier Hills and the Rose Hills side The hills carry real tree cover, and that produces two things: branch impact damage on roofs and awnings, and sap and organic debris that sits on a roof membrane long enough to matter. Roof recoat and reseal intervals are shorter on a coach stored under trees here than on one stored in the open, which is a maintenance fact rather than a sales point. ## East Whittier and the SR-72 corridor East Whittier flows naturally onto Whittier Boulevard and the SR-72, which is the most direct surface run toward the facility. This is also the part of the city with the most driveway and side yard storage, which means more units sitting uncovered through the winter rain and more moisture path work in the spring. ## Whittier Narrows and the river corridor The Narrows recreation area and the San Gabriel River corridor put a lot of local RV and trailer traffic through a small number of access points. Low speed maneuvering damage, compartment doors, corner caps and awning arms, is the characteristic damage pattern out of this corridor rather than highway collision. ## Why the shop is not in Whittier The facility is at 23281 La Palma Ave, Yorba Linda, CA 92887. It carries the bay depth, the paint booth and the yard that coach work needs, and that footprint does not exist inside Whittier at a rent this work can carry. The honest framing is that OCRV Center serves Whittier rather than sits in it. Anyone telling you otherwise about a 35,000 square foot RV body facility inside the city is describing something that is not there. ## Questions ### Is OCRV Center located in Whittier, California? No. The facility is in Yorba Linda at 23281 La Palma Ave, about twenty minutes east of Whittier. Whittier is the market this shop serves, and the drive is one freeway for most of the city. ### What is the fastest route from Whittier towing a fifth wheel? I-605 south to SR-91 east, then surface streets. Avoid the Whittier Boulevard surface route with anything long, because several turns on it are tight with a trailer behind you. ### Does OCRV Center come to Whittier to look at a vehicle? No. There is no mobile service, no roadside work and no on site evaluation. Every vehicle is evaluated and repaired in shop at the Yorba Linda facility. ### Why do Whittier Hills coaches need roof work more often? Tree cover. Branch impact and organic debris sitting on a membrane shorten the recoat and reseal interval compared with a coach stored in the open, which is a storage condition rather than a product defect. ## Related - [Roof recoat and reseal](https://ocrv.art/rv-roof-repair/roof-recoat-and-reseal) - [Slide mechanism service](https://ocrv.art/rv-slide-out-repair/slide-mechanism-service) - [Leveling system service](https://ocrv.art/rv-slide-out-repair/leveling-system-service) - [Compartment door repair](https://ocrv.art/rv-body-shop/compartment-door-repair)
