Not everyone gets that type of stuff. While it may seem easy to you, for someone else it's all greek.
With all due respect it is this kind of thinking I am trying to quash. It may be Greek to some yes, but even Greek can be learned. and in this case it is just not anywhere as difficult as the real Greek.
That's a great desire, but not everyone can learn to do everything and some don't want to learn to do certain things or they know how but don't want to do those things.
Why is it so important to push people to do their own work? I get it if someone comes here and says "I want to do this myself, but need help", or "RV ownership is too expensive with all these repair costs", and responding that it is easy to do yourself, but this thread is more of a demand that everyone do it themselves and that is presumptuous.
With all due respect; Demand? I defy you to find any language in my posts demanding anything. There is a big difference and not a subtle one either, between a demand and ENCOURAGEMENT. I am simply encouraging others to take that step and Do It Yourself by highlighting that these systems are not as complicated as they may think they are.
Apparently you have missed the very many posts over years here where people are URGED not to tackle a given job lest they screw up their RV and the Sky will fall...I am simply trying to counter so much negativity about this subject.
In another post you wrote about me "pushing people" to do their own repairs, that maybe they don't want to...
Again, to be sure I am clear, if there is any pushing going on it's pushback against the perception that your RV is complicated and hard to work on. I am certainly not pushing anyone to do something they don't want to do. And again if you disagree please quote the language from my posts you are basing that on.
I think this is the key difference between us; I have more confidence in the innate intelligence of my fellow man to know when they read my post here that they are perfectly able to decide for themselves what to do.
