Step One:
Disconnect your battery and then reconnect it.
This will reset the Check Engine light.
Step Two:
If the light comes on again, ask whoever you pick to service your rv to do a Pressure Check on the GAS CAP! That's the cheapest diagnostic test to do. You'd be surprised as to how many worn gas caps cause these problems as the seal is worn down and the pressure valve does not function properly. This leads to several EVAP, etc. error indicators from the on-board rv engine computer.
Step Three:
ALWAYS screw on your gas cap fairly tightly after every fillup!
Believe me...been there ... done that!
If Check Engine light continues, go for full-blown diagnostics as it may be a valid engine problem.
