New RV Owner Hands On Learning Experience and Orientation

$295-$595

Being a new RV’er can be challenging and stressful. Our goal is to build your knowledge and confidence with our hands on session to understand how to setup your RV and operate it’s systems without fear of doing something wrong.

We start the class by performing a pre-trip inspection so you can ensure you are safely preparing your RV for travel. From there, we walk through the process of unhitching, leveling, chocking, and connecting your RV to shore power, water, and sewer.

The second part of our course is to do a full hands on maintenance evaluation of your RV. Together, we will evaluate your RV from top to bottom so you can learn about each component, what it does, and how to maintain it. We cover electrical, fresh water, sewer, water heater, furnace, RV stove operation, air conditioner, batteries, inverter, converter, and solar.

The course is up to four hours long and will take place at a local campsite.

You will receive a summarized report that includes up to twenty photos describing the overall condition of your RV and a prioritized maintenance list.
