Why wait? That's what I am seeing a lot of people say. My concerns with being an independent RV tech would be the cost of liability insurance and the fact that there are ads sprinkled across many of the RV websites now on becoming one. I know there a couple of places that offer a good program but I also saw one aimed at being a tech in an RV park which, in my opinion, wasn't offering much but a lower cost than the ones that really lead to certification. Life is short and why wish away two years or more just waiting for one's life to begin?
