RV consultations are quickly becoming a highly sought-after service in the RV industry. These services are often also known as RV training, RV walkthroughs, New RV Owner Orientations, RV 101s, or RV Bootcamps.
Whether you are brand-new to the world of RVing, recently purchased a motorhome or towable RV or you’re a seasoned RVer, you already know there’s a big learning curve that comes with owning and operating an RV.
Since RVs are subjected to an earthquake with every bump and turn, RV maintenance is also extremely important. If only it were as simple as hopping in your motorhome or hitching up your towable and heading out on the road! This is where RV consultations come in.
What are RV Consultations?
RV consultations are typically provided by RV inspectors as well as other RV service providers. In some instances, an RV service pro will come to your location and conduct a consultation in person. In other instances, the consultation will be conducted virtually.
The overall goal of the training session is to provide you with knowledge. That includes all the knowledge you need in order to safely operate and maintain your RV, as well as to fully enjoy your RV in comfort.
If you haven’t traveled via RV in the past (or it’s just been a few years), or if you’re making the switch to an entirely new class of RV, these RV consultations are an invaluable way to spend an hour or two, ensuring you have all the tools you need before you take your first trip. Even seasoned RVers can learn a wealth of information that’s specific to the current RV they own.
Why RV Owners Should Schedule RV Consultations
There are many reasons why you should consider booking a service pros’ RV consultations services, rather than just trying to find RV training online, or using YouTube to gather more information about your recreational vehicle or camper. Here are just a few.
1. Private RV consultations are specific to your particular RV.
First, a private, one-on-one RV walkthrough with a trained, knowledgeable service pro will be catered to your specific motorhome or RV. All your RV’s individual quirks and characteristics are taken into account. This way, you’re never surprised while out on the road.
2. Private RV consultations allow you to ask as many questions as you want.
Ever watch RV walkthroughs on YouTube or Facebook and wish you could ask the poster all your burning RV questions? That’s exactly what you can do during your RV training and consultation session.
The service pros who provide these RV consultations have heard just about every question in the book. You can feel free to ask not only about your specific RV, but about RVing life in general. Maybe you need to know what extra gear or RV accessories to buy. Maybe you’re not sure where you can or can’t take your particular class of RV. Whatever the case, whatever the question, they can help.
3. RV consultations touch on topics you didn’t realize you need to know.
Whether you’re a newbie or a seasoned RV enthusiast, there’s probably a lot about your RV that you don’t realize involving the proper use and maintenance of your RV. For example, it can be problematic (and frustrating) to show up to an RV park without the gear necessary to hook up to water, electric and sewage. Leveling your RV is harder than it looks. WiFi and cell phone is a constant challenge when RVing, especially if you want to work from the road.
Service pros who provide RV consultations are typically working with years of experience. They know the ins and outs of the RV lifestyle and are extremely knowledgeable. Let them take you under their wings and guide you through RV ownership and maintenance, specific to your current RV.
4. RV consultations can go far beyond your initial RV training.
You’ll want that initial RV training session to get all the necessary info for safe, comfortable RV travel. However, many service pros offer additional services that go far beyond just setting you up for your first trip.
Depending on the service pro you work with, RV consultations can include help with trip planning. They can even help with the business of renting out your RV to other travelers. Some offer RV consultations geared toward renovating a used RV and those who can guide you through troubleshooting RV issues or shopping for and buying an RV.
RV driving instruction for motorhomes and guidance on how to tow a fifth wheel and how to tow a camper is also available through select service providers. Some are even geared specifically for women RVers.
