I was at the NRVTA two years ago. I am one of the few female certified techs. I am the only female certified tech in Indiana. This past year I went to RVTI for my continuing Ed. NRVTA is so much better for independent mobile techs. When I first go in to a service call I carry my multimeter and a pencil box of tools. If I need more tools I can always run out to my Van.
If your business runs anything like your video - well then -CONGRATULATIONS!!! Excellent. informative and educational. I am hopefully headed there in Oct of 2024 and I have researched and talked quite a bit to the student advisors, and still learned things from your videos. Again, congratulations!!!
Thank you! I never really thought of it but yes, our business does operate just like this video. lol October is a great time of year to go to the NRVTA. The summer heat is over and it won’t snow/ice on you. That makes for some great campfires at night with your classmates.
Very thorough and insightful video covering all aspects of the class any potential student would want to know. I’ll probably do the home study course first then do the onsite course as I really want to be able to diagnose and fix problems that pop up. However if I do need a tech I’ll be sure they are NRVTA certified.
I have already requested info from the school but after watching your video I'll still give you a shoutout. Thanks for all the great information well done.
We love the school and hope this video will answer other people’s questions so they can start their RV education journey off on the right path. ~ Steve & Erika
This is a Great Video. You did a wonderful job of covering the school and a Great Job of how to properly set up a Business Plan. I do subscribe to NRVTA channel but you two did much better job of going into depth about the School. Best of Luck to both of you, but I do hope I am Lucky Enough to not need your services because that means I am broke down 🤣
They have been accepting the GI Bill for almost a year now. Lots of soldiers have gone through :) From one vet to another, thank you for your service. -Erika
What an awesome video full of really valuable info. I'm saving up to get an RV and then head to NRVTA for the tech/inspector courses and certifications. Your video gave me good ideas of how to prepare myself both mentally and financially for the seemingly overwhelming, intensive and awesome experience. I'm looking fwd to it and am SO glad that the NRTVA, RVIA and guys like you exist for producing such informative videos. Thanks!😊
This was a very easy to follow, yet very informative! I was glad to see you added the agenda for the +1 I am retiring and going full time in 2024 and considering doing inspections to make some play money. when I sent in for my info packet, I listed you as how I heard because your video was the best we have watched. See you down the road.
I am going to require my franchises to attend their Advanced RV Service Technician and RV Inspector Programs. It's a good way to maintain the My RV Guy brand appeal.
I have the same problem i can't carry all the parts the fireplace and bar-B-Q store does on my van, so i refer them and they refer me for cleaning. Sounds like a quality school, reminds me of the army and ojt. Good luck 👍
Awesome and super helpful video. I'm heading down to TX to attend both the Technician and Inspector classes, the solar and generator classes starting in September. I am planning on starting a mobile repair business as I'm a full time RVer. I'll solidify the specifics after completing the courses, I know it's a lot of knowledge.
Best of luck! It’s like drinking out of a firehouse so make sure to stay organized. It was the best thing we did and we are both loving working the business. Steve - hands on. Erika - Marketing, business operation and Steve’s tool hander.
You're welcome and we are glad you found the video helpful. We don't get anything for the referral, we just want to make sure they know where their leads are coming from.
Awesome video, I am thinking about attending the school and you guys might have pushed me off the fence to enroll. If I do, I will definitely let them know I enrolled because of you guys....BTW...Steve, you talk really fast, sometimes its hard to understand. Thanks again
It’s a great place to learn! And as for Steve, yup, it’s a known issue. That’s what we get when we put a camera in front of his face and the stress of filming comes on. I suggest turning on closed captioning and read along and changing the playback speed on RUclips. You can speed any video up or slow it down to better understand what is being said. You can turn both of these options on by finding the gear icon on RUclips. ~ Erika
Hi! I loved the video. We have been planning to go to the NRVTA Academy. My husband is interested in becoming an RV Inspector plus the knowledge would be extremely helpful for our own RV. I tried download the RV Inspector book but it kept saying the security code is incorrect. Thank you for the information!
I’m glad you found the video helpful :). When I click the link and opens up different browser options and then I can put my email in to download the book. If you’re trying from your phone, try it from your computer and see if it will work correctly. Or type the address into a browser to see if it will come up. It sounds like you have pop ups disabled or something.
That varies based on the classes you take, which tools you need to purchase and if you stayed on of off campus. Go to the description of this video and download the 2 E-Books (technician & inspector). They list all the costs of each course, materials, tools, etc. They are loaded with the details about the school and RV industry too. They are very helpful.
Are you able to travel the country in you Rv and work from anywhere? Does The Rv tech tractor follow you around the country so people can get hold of you?
We are able to travel the country and work from anywhere. We set our location in the RV Tech Locator so people can find us if we are in their area. Work in Texas January-April and Michigan May-November annually. People mainly find us from seeing us in person where we are staying. www.mobilervtechservices.com/schedule
@@RadarRoadWarriors thank you very much much. I’m just waiting to find out if my Post 9/11 GI bill is still available for me if so I’m quitting my job and going to head to NVRVTA to get certified. Haven’t been to school since 1991 so this will be fun.
@@chadkoller7809 Definitely use the GI Bill up if you still have some benefits available. I We post a lot of great information on our Facebook Business Page. You might want to hop our our next Live video February 20th. facebook.com/MobileRVTechServices
What do you mean by package? Are you asking about the price it was to attend the NRVTA or the Small Business Course you can buy. The price to attend the school is listed in their ebooks which are linked in the description. The price of the small business course was $999 when we purchased it.
Are you getting inspection jobs? I know some inspectors and they aren't getting bookings no matter what. I think the need for them isn't great in certain areas.
We do mostly tech jobs. There isn’t a lot of dealers near us and we are working on educating the RVers in our area how important inspections are. It seems that inspections are more popular in certain areas.
@@RadarRoadWarriors the NRVTA tells people that the industry needs "thousands" of technicians and inspectors and that's simply not true, at least for inspectors. They should stop false advertising and misleading people to take those courses or at least provide information as to what areas have a need for inspectors, where someone can make a living from it. The people I know are disappointed at not going a return on their investment.
@@lauravictorious4670 it all depends on your skillset and if you can run a business and people want to hire you. I don’t believe the NRVTA is lying to anyone. The demand is out there, you need to be in the right location and have the skillset needed to be successful.
Costs change, putting them in a video quickly outdates it. You can see the current cost break down in the E-Books. We put links to them in the description.
Fabulous video. Had previously taken the home course and it was great. I was debating about the full RV Tech course and this video has practically now sealed the transaction. I too had seen others, but not nearly as well executed in my opinion. Thanks for taking the time to put together a well executed and thoughtful approach to describing your experience. @NRTVA, recommend you at least consider linking this somehow as a testimonial to your product if not already done.
Thanks for the feedback and we are glad it helped answer your questions. We put a LOT of time tracking the information, taking video clips and notes after each class so we are happy to see others are finding it useful. ~ Steve
Watching video I had to go back and listen many times. Steve you just talk way to fast!! Please slow down in future videos for people to learn from you quicker. VERY informative video! I have your info in my address book when I travel in case I need a tech.
Thanks for the feedback Colleen, Erika reminds me to slow down and sometimes I can’t help myself when I’m excited about what I’m saying. You can slow the video speed down by tapping the screen and then the gear to change the video to .75 speed. -Steve

The best review we’ve seen hands down. Thank you for putting this together!

I'm planning on attending next year!! I'm a vet and they do now accept GI Bill!!!!

The NRVTA was a great experience. We are glad you found this video helpful. It included everything we wondered before attending ourselves.
I am going to require my franchises to attend their Advanced RV Service Technician and RV Inspector Programs. It's a good way to maintain the My RV Guy brand appeal.
You know what's super interesting? Last week we reached out to the NRVTA and in the referral box we put Radar Road Warriors! 😀
Are you serious?

Well this answers my comment in the last video, thinking about going back here really regretting withdrawing

The links to the ebooks don’t work. Any correction to add?
I don't have an update. It looks like they are no longer available.
If i take the home fundamentals course am I eligible to be registered as a technician or inspector or both kr neither?
You would need to take the in person class & exam to be a registered tech, certified tech or certified inspector.
Great info, thank you. Around how much all of your courses did you have to invest?

The Rv industry needs to be regulated some manufacturers are putting out some really poorly built units
What was the cost of the school?
It depends on which classes you take and if you stay at the RV park. The cost breakdowns and all other information is in their E-Books that are also linked in the description of this video: RV Technician E-Book: www.nrvta.info/nrvtaebook. RV Inspector E-Book: www.nrvta.info/nrviaebook
@RadarRoadWarriors Ok, thank you, and I love your content. I am also in Michigan.
@@joshreyburn988 hi there fellow Michigander
Cost?
We linked the E-Books for both the RV Tech and RV Inspector program in the description. These go over the cost of the training and almost every aspect of starting up your own business. Definitely check them out.
How is your business doing?
Booming! We are booking 2-3 weeks out and redoing our scheduling so we can sleep and not work 12-15 hour days.
this guy sounds like an rv auctioneer lol
