I smell a money making scheme for the dealer here. Salesmanship 101.
As others have stated, learn to do the tasks you are comfortable with.
Then find a local mechanic or trailer shop for brakes, bearing etc.
Heck, for the distance you have to travel ( likely twice, because you'll almost certainly have to leave it ) your fuel costs alone would likely pay for a service visit from a mobile RV repair guy if you have one in the area.
PS. if you have a camping trip planned anywhere that snowbirds go ( south TX, AZ or FL ), there are plenty of choices for mobile repair guys. Ask at the registration desk who they have that frequents their park.
