Good for her!!
Please let her know that there are thousands of women RVing solo.
Most people she meets on the road will be helpful / able to assist her should problems arise. There's a learning curve in most any new venture, it's often steeper for some than for others. I hope she will not be discouraged.
She's lucky to have a friend in you!
Note: No one, male or female, was born with infinite knowledge of everything; how to use a voltmeter, as an example. Once she is introduced to the voltmeter, as an example, she will have that knowledge and the ability to apply it. It isn't rocket science, and the fewer who try to mystify the process, the better off we will all be!
P.S. I appreciate your noting that many of us weren't encouraged, nor socialized, to gain mechanical knowledge / experience. As a matter of fact, for many it was discouraged, and mystified, but, once the curtain was / is pulled back, most become adept, or at least competent at it.
Again, good luck to your friend!!

Hey...grumpy guy...I made it clear she's brand new to the Road Trek thing. He husband died 18 months ago from lung cancer that took him just two months after they even knew there *was* cancer, and just a week after she decided to retire so they could go on the road together. She's been in the pit and wearing a groove in her park model floor from pacing for hours on end -- for 18 months straight -- from the shock and pain. She went right from her abusive father's home to the arms of a really wonderful man at a very early age and didn't even know how to read a map until last month.
I'm incredibly proud of her courage to get back on the horse and go out and try to enjoy the world again, on her own, for the first time in her life. It's astounding what she's tackled in just the last few weeks. So how about cutting the woman a little slack and giving her time to catch up? The women you seem to have so much disdain for were inside cleaning your house and cooking your meals all your life while you were outside learning about circuits and tools and transmission coolers.
You tone is *incredibly* disrespectful. Your own personal unhappiness is evident. If you're not here to be helpful and to make other people's days better and their loads lighter perhaps you should turn off the computer and find some stray animals to kick.
Seriously...Unbelievable.
