😸 CAT scale results after the renovations and loaded up to go south for the winter:
We were right at capacity just like we were before the renovations so taking out the heavy furniture items made room for the added parts and tools. I actually packed the outside storage full of sealant because I wanted to use up my extra stock. If I had a normal amount of sealant, we would have been a couple hundred pounds under capacity.

Says "I'm not a carpenter" and then builds a structure sturdier than the frame of the camper lol. I aspire to be as organized as you. Nice work Steve!
It’s built well and I know someone would say I should have dove tailed something….
Thanks Andrew
@RadarRoadWarriors Stop on by next time you have a wood working project! I've got the jigs.
Love this idea. The only addition I would add would be to put full extension slides where those totes live. That way you can just pull out and grab what you need. Nice job!
I see absolutely nothing wrong with the storage area you guys built. Looks nice and clean and does exactly what it was intended to. Thanks for the ideas!
Thank you
The Velcro curtains are a great idea. I have sewn Velcro on so many different things. I made some thermal blackout window covers attached to the windows with Velcro. I just used the window screws and screwed them through the Velcro into the window. That’s the only way they stay on especially when it gets hot in the summer.
You guys are very organized and work well together as a couple and business partners. I think that’s awesome.
From another mobile generator service technician. I would like to say I want to hire your wife she's good at her business. Lol. That's the hardest part when you're a service technician. But she looks like she has it under full control.
She is awesome and keeping the business growing plus she puts videos together to help other techs and RVers. If Erika didn’t have a passion for making videos to help others, this channel wouldn’t exist.
Wow! Great job and organization. Looks amazing to me and has given me some good ideas.
Glad to help 😃
Thank you sir.
Talk about organized!!!!! Nice job you two!!!!
Erika is the organization queen! Thank you - Steve
Awesome video and information, thanks guys hope all is well
I’m very interested in the NRVTA. This is a great video that answers many of my questions on what is needed to be a tech. Thanks.
You're welcome
Wow you two have got it together!
Thanks
Sounds like a great opportunity.
Spot on!!! Class for me starts next month. Excellent!
It's a great experience, have a great time!
Very nice keep up with videos very informative
Thanks Jack
Great info. Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome
First thing - ignore the trolls! You guys are amazing! I may have to find my way to Michigan just to do business with you! Got a flaky fridge that loves to ruin trips. LOL. Awesome video, awesome information. You guys have definitely got your act together. Subscribed!
Thanks for the kind words. If you are on Facebook, we are very active on there and answer lots of our followers questions. Mobile RV Tech Services
Great video! Can you provide a link to the long nut drivers you had in your backpack?
Yes, they come as a pair: amzn.to/3JQ4cic
Great video!! Curious which RV school did you go to? I was enrolled in the school in Athens Texas and unfortunately pulled myself out due to a close death in the family however months have gone by and wishing i went and thinking about re enrolling. I already bought all the tools on the check list lol. I’d love to know your experience at whichever school you went to
I’m so happy I attended the NRVTA. Between the hands on experience in school, the network I made and being able to tap into a wealth of knowledge to get answers to difficult/unique RV issues, it has eliminated so many hurdles for running a successful business. I have a friend who also started a mobile tech business with zero training and I watch him struggle with some basic stuff that is holding him back from being successful. He’ll call me up for advice and in my head I’m thinking, yup, we covered that in week 2 of training.
If you want to see the type work I do or issues I run into, we post the behind the scenes of running the business in the stories on IG and FB at Mobile RV Tech Services. You can find the link in the description of this video. It will give you a good idea of what it’s like to run the business.
Were y ou concerned at all with the weight of your new storage unit? In other words, did you feel a need to calculate the weight of the finished product compared with the weight of the sofa and such that was there before?
I was mindful on the materials used for the building. I didn’t weigh each part I removed/put in. We’ll be going through the scales before heading across the country to verify that we’re not over GVWR on the trailer.
I'm planning to take NRVTA courses and will also be buying a truck to tow. Is your ladder the one listed on the NRVTA tool list??
If not, pls give me specs on it. With the one on the list, the picture doesnt show if it can be closed completely like yours is.
Thx!😊
My ladder is a Gorilla ladder from Home Depot. I’m pretty sure it’s the 21’ model of the 3 models that had when I picked it up.
The Little Giant on the tool list would operate the same but might be a different size when collapsed/ extended.
That big fold up sign out front is genius! Great design and everything! 🤯 🤘
Gotta be creative when marketing!🎊🎈📢🖼️📺📹📱🧾🥳
Great video. Where can you find that backpack? Thank you, Never Mind, seen its a harbor freight. Great find.
Thanks and the backpack is still doing great after 11 months of hard use.
Wow, i wish i had a business /wife partner as organized as yours, awesome video. I am working on doing the same Mobile business in southern Oregon. The binder is brilliant. You are doing exactly what i am trying to do. I like to hear more about insurance and have many other questions. Is it possible to contact you. Thank you
Yes she is great at making the business run smooth and keeping me organized.
Tomorrow I’ll be in the vehicle most of the day if you want to call 989-820-7373 from 9:00-noon and 2-4:00 eastern. Erika will be driving while I’m doing office work.
There are a lot of tech courses out there? Are there ones that are bad, I live in the North east and have not found one that is local. I can’t leave my family for 5 or 7 weeks to be able to take the class in Texas. RV Technical Institute has a course that is atleast a little closer and a large portion of it online, any recommendations?
I did the RVTI online level 1 portion and it was night and day difference in learning going to Texas with their program and bring hands on.
If you can do a week or 2 at a time, I feel it would be beneficial to go to Texas. Plus dough in person classes gains a huge network to work with.
Do you have any concerns for the next couple years for RV repair? I'm enrolled to go to Athens, TX in Feb but i want to make sure i do my due diligence and be able to pull the plug if things might be screeching to a halt. I saw a video in my recommend taking about a "another manufacturer" going bankrupt or something to that effect. Aside from that, things could be getting really ugly and nasty next year (possible civil unrest and food scarcity on the horizon). I know you can't predict what's gonna happen but as far as what you know for the mobile rv business outlook, what are you expecting?
I have repair experience in different fields but not much in RV. I just started a side gig in warranty repairs on massage chairs. It's great because it's mobile; if i want it to travel somewhere I just let my contact know and he finds the jobs for me and gives me all the support i need to get the job done. I also do ministry work in different states so being able to have a source of income helps out a lot. I don't have an RV atm but hope to find something next year. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge!
The RV industry is still going strong, yes production is back down to reality after the last couple years of being at an all time high. Fact is there are a lot of RVs out there, they can break easy and there is a demand for good techs to repair them.
I don’t get into the hype of doom and gloom. If the world comes to an end, it doesn’t matter what my plans were or what I was doing.
I have a question... How does a traveling mobile rv tech manage the taxes for multiple states, or do they only charge sales tax for the state of origin?
We charge customers the tax rate for the state we are working in. Our accountant pays all the taxes to the state we owe money to. We only operate out of two states to make the business side of things much easier.
Being a tech. What is your opinion of the Open Range?
After working on our RV over the past 4 years and working on many other RVs as a tech, I can tell the Open Range was put together without cutting corners.
@@RadarRoadWarriors Thanks for the reply. I have had a Open Range travel trailer (310BHS) for 8.5 years and just bought a new Open Range 374BHS 5th wheel. I feel the same about Open Range (Highland Ridge RV). I think they are built better than many other brands that I have been in. Thanks for your videos. I am excited to see more of your videos.
Are you based in the Reno are , I live in stockton ca ,be nice to know
I'm based in Michigan as I mentioned in the video. If you are looking for a certified RV tech in your area, you can find one near you on this website: rvtaa.org/locate/
What an off-putting bossy wife. OMG!
What makes you say that? She’s amazing and a huge asset. She came up with this video idea to answer the all the questions we were fielding from other mobile techs to help them out when we really didn’t have anytime to whip out another video. She came up the outline of the video and told me what we need to include and filled in with everything I didn’t mention that people where asking. It’s organized, efficient and helped several people. If that comes off bossy and off-putting to you, then you might be a little ‘soft’ and need to move on from our channel.
Disagree, she knows her stuff and together they make a great team. She seemed really excited to share all of their combined knowledge of the industry and she didn't miss a beat!
