Actual repair footage
No staged demo rigs

What makes it different

This isn’t me reading a manual at you.

You’ll see real RVs with real damage and real surprises. I’ll show you what I check, what I ignore, what changes the plan, and where a shortcut turns into a comeback job.

A

Diagnosis before demolition

Learn to follow water, movement, failed seals, bad fasteners, and structural clues before you start cutting.

B

Real repair decisions

When to patch, when to rebuild, how far to open it up, and how to know when the damage keeps going.

C

Finish the whole job

Materials, adhesives, waterproofing, reassembly, cleanup, and the details that keep the repair from becoming a sequel.

Full curriculum

Six modules. One expensive lesson you don’t have to learn twice.

Slide-Out Systems

Understand the room, the mechanism, and the structure as one system before you blame the motor.

  • System types and failure patterns
  • Room alignment and load paths
  • Floor rot and edge damage
  • Safe support and removal planning

Roof Systems, Leak Diagnosis & Water Damage

Water does not care where the ceiling stain is. Learn how it travels and how to stop chasing the wrong hole.

  • Roof assemblies and materials
  • Moisture mapping
  • Entry-point diagnosis
  • Rot assessment and tear-out limits
  • Membrane and sealant repair

Walls, Siding & Lamination

Open a wall without turning a repair into a demolition hobby.

  • Wall construction basics
  • Delamination causes
  • Skin and siding removal
  • Adhesive selection and clamping
  • Reassembly and water control

Floors & Subfloor

Soft floor is a symptom. Find the real boundary of the damage and build back solid.

  • Underbelly access
  • Subfloor removal strategy
  • Framing and insulation
  • Flooring transitions and finish work

Seals, Gutters & Preventive Maintenance

The cheapest structural repair is the one you catch before the wood turns into oatmeal.

  • Sealant inspection routines
  • Joint prep that actually sticks
  • Windows, rails, and penetrations
  • Gutters and drainage paths
  • Seasonal maintenance plan

Capstone: Tools, Shop Setup & Pricing

Put the whole system together—from what belongs in your truck to what the job is actually worth.

  • Final inspection and customer handoff

Questions, answered

Before you ask in the comments.

Is the course available now?

Not yet. The footage and curriculum are being built into the finished course. Join the launch list and I’ll let you know when the doors open.

Is this for owners or technicians?

Both. Owners will understand what’s happening to their coach. Working techs will get job flow, diagnosis, and structural repair thinking from actual paid work.

Do I need a full shop?

No. I’ll show you what needs real space, what can be handled mobile, and which tools matter before you start buying everything in the aisle.

Are these perfect classroom repairs?

Absolutely not. They’re real jobs. Things are stuck, wet, hidden, crooked, discontinued, or all five. That’s the point.

What does the $197 include?

The planned course includes all six modules and the job footage that supports them. Final launch details will come with the release announcement.

Does this replace professional service?

No course can inspect your specific RV from a screen. I’ll teach you how to make better calls—including when the smart call is bringing in a professional.
