RV Maintenance Course
Many people love the RV lifestyle, but most of us would agree one of the main pain points as full-time and even part-time RVers is the RV Maintenance that’s required to make sure our homes are safe!
RV maintenance is never ending and for many, it’s something we’d rather not go broke trying to keep up with. Am I right???
This post is all about the RV Maintenance Course offered by Barry and Debra Benton from The Virtual Campground!
Not all of us are handy when it comes to RV maintenance but we can all agree it’s never something you want to spend a ton of on. For those living the full-time RV life, you don’t always have the time or money to rent a hotel every time your camper needs to be in the shop.
Think about this for a minute-
When Your RV Breaks….
Your first thought is usually to just call the dealership and find out how soon you can make an appointment with their service department. Simple right?
Maybe not! Dealers often give priority appointments to customers who purchased their RVs at that location. If that’s not you- what are your options?
You might consider a mobile RV tech or mobile repair service.
Great idea! If you don’t mind paying $100+ per hour for simple services… Oh, dear! That type of unexpected repair cost can really break the bank.
So, what’s the solution?
It’s easy. You have to learn how to fix it yourself!
…Gain the knowledge and skills you need to fix more than 75% of all the things that typically go wrong with RVs.
If you want to RV or keep RVing, and you want to be both safe and comfortable- you have to know how to complete these RV maintenance jobs by yourself.
I mean who wants to pay a tech $150 per hour, just to fix a simple fuse?
Living the RV life is about travel, new experiences, and living a simple life. Not spending a ton on RV maintenance when in reality fixing it yourself is completely doable.
If you want your rig to be in tip-top shape for when your favorite camping spot opens back up, this has got to be your next step!
