No, Rudi and I went to RVSA in Bradenton, Florida.Originally posted by TucsonJim View Post
The Texas outfit is the one that will be at the GD National Rally this year, the main guy has a YouTube channel (RV Beard and Babe @ https://www.youtube.com/c/TwoBeardsandaBabe/videos ) and he's also a frequent Subject Matter Expert in Changing Lanes (a GD Ambassador)videos.
From all I've seen online and of their school it looks first class. The only reason I went to RVSA is because their course was validated by the Florida Dept of Education and the Veterans Administration would pay the tuition via the GI Bill. The Texas outfit (at the time) had not "jumped through the hoops" to get VA certification. That does not mean the Texas outfit is an inferior school to learn about RV repair.

They also have a correspondence course that was quite valuable. I took it the first year we started back with an RV. Obviously not as good as being there, but the training was concise and easy to follow with practice exercises along the way. I still keep the training material in our camper along with our manuals. It is a good resource although a bit generic in form. Also Lippert has developed a good range of training courses.Kevin and Deb Reeder, 2021 Reflection 320 MKS, IS, 1050W Solar, Battleborne 400 Amps, Victron Multiplus and Solar, Renogy DC-DC Charger

The Texas outfit is certified by the Texas Veteran Commission (VA) for educational purposes. My kids live in Texas.....we are thinking about heading that way and attending their owner's & solar course. I didn't know that Florida had a training outfit.Originally posted by howson View Post2023 GD Imagine XLS 23 LDE
