RV Basics focuses on key preparation, operation and maintenance practices essential for trouble-free travel, in a relaxed setting with other RVers.

  • You’ll take away advice you can trust on questions such as... what repairs you can do yourself and what problems you should leave to a service professional... how to avoid grey water tank problems... electrical system troubleshooting... when does it make sense to replace instead of repair?
  • There are no bad questions, but there are bad guesses when it comes to troubleshooting RV issues—hear what NOT to do first.
  • Expert instructors are available to answer all of your questions. Sign up now. Enrollment is limited to allow plenty of time for questions.
  • The workshop runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Day 1 and Day 2, and 9 a.m. to noon on Day 3, so you still have plenty of time to make plans with friends and family each day.
