The dealerships are experiencing a major shortage of RV Technicians to work in their Service Departments, so when a new buyer needs a walk-through, the already busy technician is pulled away from his (her) tasks and work is left undone or even worse, the walk-through is very hurried and things are missed.

This course is primarily for the individual that is going into the Workamping (full time RVer) experience and is looking for a way to supplement their income while they live the carefree lifestyle on the road.

In today’s RV market, we are seeing a basic 2 to 4 hour show out paying $40 to $80 and depending on the complexity of the bigger rigs, the pay can go up to $150 to $250 for a 4 to 6 hour session.

You can help the buyer get off on the right foot by teaching them the ins and outs of their new Recreational Vehicle coach. You provide them with an in-depth walk through with notes and check sheets so when they are on their own they will remember where things are and how they work.

Many times your training will be the difference between the new  RV buyer having a good or bad RVing experience. Your expertise and skills can help them get off on the right foot and put extra-income ($$) in you pocket.

The Certified Walk – Through Technician course is a 6-hour instructional Online Webinar broken into three sessions with each being two hours long.

This course will provide you with a detailed manual of check lists and how-to sheets along with a copy of the DVD titled, “Know Your RV – A Guided Tour” that you can give to your new RV friend.

Your laminated, wallet-sized certificate and the wall mountable certificate will show the RV dealers that you are a professional and you have the knowledge and experience to represent the Motor Home industry.

When you sign up for this course, before your first session, you can take the optional 35 question pre-course assessment and see how RV savvy you are. Next, you will download the session’s handouts and video link material for your first class. Then view the recorded webinar.

At the end of each session you are given the opportunity to turn in your homework in the form of a post session assessment. This serves as a additional training tool to help you grasp the information you have learned and helps the Professor make sure that he is covering subject matter in an effective manner with you.

Come spend 6 hours of online instruction and become a Certified Walk-Through Technician so you can benefit your wallet while you are a Workamper (Full time RVer) or just work in your current city where you live.

This class is now HISTORY.  We now have graduates from this class that we appreciate so much for coming on board with us and making this a success!   We are preparing  this material to be placed on DVD for purchase shortly.  You will be able to go into our store and purchase this 4 week class complete with all handouts, pre-assessment  & post tests and homework.  Please check back with us soon.  For any information on this and other topics, please contact us at the email addresses provided.

Volts? Watts? 30 amps or 50 amps, What does all this mean? Who cares, just give me the power I need! You just wanted to sit and enjoy the scenery, but instead you are sitting  in the dark and wondering what happened. Learn how your RV Electrical Systems operate so you are not in the dark.

The Recreational Vehicle Electrical Systems course has been designed for the individual that wants to not only SAVE money, but develop new skills that can be used while full timing in your RV or just helping your neighbor out with his problems for additional income.

Ladies this course in NOT just for men, but for you also! As a technical trainer I have found that women usually do very well because they grasp the concepts quicker and are able to convert them to real life situations because they don’t over analyze the process. They just do it!

Once  you understand how the electrical systems in your RV work, you are then able to use this information at home, on your auto and even on your ‘other job’.

Have you ever had to pay for a service call and the 1 hour minimum, and then have to wait for someone to come to your RV just to perform some simple little task you could have done if you had only known what to do? You then realize how valuable knowledge is.

The Recreational Vehicle Electrical Systems is a 6-hour instructional  Webinar broken into four sessions with each being 1.5 hours long.

 After registering for the course you can take the optional 50 question pre-course assessment and see how RV Electrical savvy you are. You then download the first session’s handouts and video link materials.

At the end of each session you are given the opportunity to turn in your homework in the form of a post session assessment. This serves as an additional training tool to help you grasp the information you have learned and helps me to make sure that I am covering the subject matter in an effective manner with you.

Come spend six hours and learn the language of Electicity and develop new troubleshooting skills that will benefit you and your wallet.
