having work done on rv while fulltime

RVing since 2005 and fulltiming since 2010... Over the years with different motorhomes we've had an engine, transmission, and a complete rear axle assembly replaced, as well as several smaller issues that required more than one day to repair. In every case, we've been able to sleep in the motorhome every night, although we did need to stay out during the day while actual work was being done. Usually we just went out sightseeing with our toad during that time. The service shops were very accommodating to our needs. The only time we actually spent a few nights out of the motorhome was when were having some paint work done and didn't want to be bothered by the smell. That time we rented a KOA "Kabin" at a nearby campground.
