Want to get your foot in the door as a technician at an RV dealership? Or, ever considered starting one? Maybe you've thought about running your own mobile RV maintenance shop. Life long RV industry expert Dave Helgeson offers tips and advice for all of the above.

Dave is a technical writer for popular RVing websites, and an expert speaker at RV shows and events. He shares the many job opportunities that exist in the RV industry, including hands-on technical work or seasonal and regional jobs. Discover why YouTube may not be the best place to research RV maintenance. And, learn how creators can stand out in the crowded RV content space.

Take a deep dive deep into RV maintenance and discover what you need to know if considering a job as a technician, or starting a mobile repair shop. Meanwhile, this discussion reveals plenty of tips for the DIY crowd who prefers to work on their own rigs.

GUEST BIO: Dave Helgeson has been around travel trailers his entire life. His grandparents and father owned an RV dealership long before the term “RV” had been coined. He has served in every position of an RV dealership with the exception of bookkeeping. Dave served as President of a local chapter of the RVDA (Recreational Vehicle Dealers Association), was on the board of advisors for the RV Technician Program of a local technical college and was a board member of the Manufactured Home and RV Association. He and his wife Cheri operated their own RV dealership for many years and for the past 29 years have managed RV shows. Dave presents seminars at RV shows across the country and was referred to as "The foremost expert on boondocking" by the late Gary Bunzer, "The RV Doctor". Dave and his wife are currently on their fifth travel trailer with Dave doing all the service, repair and modifications on his own unit.
