DIY RV mechanics are broken into 2 groups - those that do it to save money and those that simply enjoy doing it.
I am a fairly handy guy and have tackled many things on our various RV's. That said, there is a LOT I leave to the professionals.
If you are in the camp of having others do the work, 2 critical pieces - find a shop you can trust and does good work, and be prepared to pay - sometimes a LOT. Pretty simple, but I would agree, don't let RV's be intimidating. Technically you don't need to tackle anything yourself, but having someone else do it costs money.
