I have found that RVs are quite simple beasts. There is not much that you can't figure out for yourself or find out about somewhere online. You don't need a university degree to work on it. You do need to be physically able & not afraid to get your hands dirty.
First resort for so many seems to be 'take it to the dealer'. Uh...no, not happening here. My Alpenlite is an orphan. It is kept in MD. Bought it from a dealership near Denver where the owner of the dealership had bought it for personal use. Liked it better than anything he had on his lot but his DW did not.
Had my share of little things going wrong in well over 100,000 trailer miles. Needed proffessional service only once. Fridge replacement. Could not do that by myself. Paying $100hr to diagnose & replace something like a sheared bolt on a slide drive shaft would hurt too much. Likewise rebuilding 5er landing leg innards or brake servicing.
