"On the side" normally means working in off-hours for someone other than the "main" employer. You may work in an office and have a job "on the side" as a retail clerk; or you are a banker and work "on the side" as a fix it man; etc.
"Under the table" means you are doing work and not reporting taxes on the income. You are getting paid "under the table" usually in cash.
The first is only not allowed if there was a hiring contract that specifically forbids it. Usually, it is limited to work that is competitive with the job, work that requires a license or permit - and which license or permit is paid for by the employer, or the job conveys a "status" or "prestige" on the employee that can be passed on to the "on the side job" by default (such as a police officer moonlighting as a security officer). Exceptions can be made at the discretion of the employer to the ban.
The latter is pretty much illegal per IRS.
To the OP, I would start calling around to various RV repair places in the town where you'll be and get some cost estimates. You can talk to RV park managers, etc. also to see if they know of anyone. Finding someone to do the work "on the side" isn't necessarily wrong, as long as there is no dishonesty, cheating, etc. And that the OP knows that any work done "on the side" at a less expensive rate will not include any guarantees, etc.
