The skilled trades’ sector is in dire need of new entrants!
Since the start of the pandemic, the RV industry has seen unprecedented demand as many discovered the flexibility and safety that the RV lifestyle is able to offer. 600,240, a record number of wholesale units, were produced in 2021; which is an astonishing 19% increase from the year prior. With surging RV sales, there comes more demands for service operations.
The RV industry is constantly evolving and adjusting to ever-increasing demands. Advanced recreation vehicle technologies and quick adaptation to parts and component shortages, RV service technicians are faced with mounting challenges. As a highly specialized trade where technicians need to have knowledge in over 14 different trade areas, aptitude for strong diagnostic skills and desire for further specialized training defines the current generation of RV service technicians.
RV Tech Week recognizes the pressures and challenges placed on the RV service technicians. By applauding their efforts to help more RVers enjoy the RV lifestyle, we aim to retain skilled technicians and to recruit more talented individuals to join the industry.
Purpose of RV Tech Week
- Introduce the specialized, RV service technician trade to the public

- Reinforce the value and professionalism of RV service technicians to the RV industry and to the public
- Provide recognition to RV service technicians for excellence in their work
