Regarding RV Tech v/s Electrician.
First: I will comment on the "Not all are qualified" this is true, Qualified means you took a class and optionally wrote a test and passed. Some schools guarantee you will pass. Kind of like Driver's ED. As you know not all Driver's are qualified (A fact of which I'm kind of glad being a retired police dispatcher.. Why is this.. If not for bad drivers, My services as dispatcher would not have been needed for the first 14.5 years of my employment (it was a traffic post where I worked).
Likewise not all electricians know the answer to the question which was answered in the movie "Birds Do It" staring Jerry Lewis with "Of course I know the difference, you need a shovel to dig a hole in the ground") the question we never actually heard, they cut away as the professor said DO YOU KNOW THE....)
But... in this case. An GOOD RV technician (Note I said GOOD, not qualified, though a GOOD one will be qualified) very likely knows RV systems better than a sticks & Bricks electrician. Though in this case.. Either one may help.
IN my case I'm a fair ELECTRONICS tech by training, Thus I can occasionally trouble shoot electrical issues.. Since that is a very much related field.
