While I do agree anyone can fix their own RV IF THEY KNOW HOW AND HAVE THE TOOLS. and in fact I have done several mods and upgrades and repairs to my house on wheels ... Some folks as they say could not pour water out of a boot with instructions printed on the heal. (I can think of one such but won't name him. Oh. he's not an RVer. far as I know. and not likely to become one).
I'm an old farm boy Studied mechanics and such in school. Electronics in college. Engineering path though I never completed my Batchlors (Do have an associates and a certificate). Have done a lot of jobs including small engine mechanic (The only difference between a chain saw and an 8.1L: Vortec is size. number of cylinders and some electronics (See certificate). That said I don't work on the 8.1 much.. (Old age and lack of tools).
I do sharpen chain saws
But there is not much this old farm boy can't do..
Recently I had someone tell me I fixed their problem and gave me a great comment (Facebook group) ... Well. .. You see.. When it happened to me I got professional advice (I did the work but the pro told me how). That's how I learn a lot of this stuff. Research covers the rest. I got some research to do next week on my car (limited bandwidth now).
