Recreation vehicles (RV) are vehicles designed as temporary living quarters for recreational, camping, travel or seasonal use. RVs may be motorized (motorhomes) or towable (travel trailers, folding camping trailers, truck campers, and park models). RVs do not include off-road vehicles. RV service technicians work on systems and components of recreation vehicles, including electrical components, plumbing, propane gas components, appliances, exterior and interior components, structural frames and towing systems. They diagnose, repair, replace, install, adjust, test, maintain and modify these components and systems. They may also perform maintenance and repairs on trailer frames and running gear. They must be knowledgeable about each system’s function and the interaction among various systems. However, it is important to note that they do not work on the motor or drive train components of motorized RVs. RV service technicians are typically employed at RV dealerships, independent RV repair shops, RV manufacturers and may also be self-employed. They may work at indoor shops and outdoors at RV sites. Safety is important due to risks and hazards such as: working at heights, with electricity, with explosive and volatile materials, in the outdoor environment, and under vehicles.
