RV E-Courses and Workshops
Owning an RV can be really fun and a bit intimidating. Just pulling a giant 5th-Wheel or travel trailer home can cause a panic attack, not to mention learning to back up.
If even a bit more knowledge would be helpful, imagine having a treasure trove of the right information at your fingertips! Whether you’re just setting out or you’re already on the open road, knowing you’ll be prepared for any trouble that arises will let you relax and enjoy the RV Experience.
RV E-Courses and Workshops are one way the way to do that. You can also buy these courses on DVD so you’ll have the information even when you’re out of WiFi range. We are excited to bring you these super-helpful courses.
RV Education 101 with Mark & Dawn Polk
Mark & Dawn have working in the RV business for decades. They realized the great need RV owners have for quality training materials in order to fully enjoy their rigs and operate them safely at the same time. They started RV Education 101 in 1999. You’ll recognize Mark right off as a frequent guest on Rollin On TV Show.
“Relax in the comfort of your own home or RV and we will walk you step-by-step through all of the systems of your RV. Buying an RV is exciting and when you pick it up, the only thing on your mind is getting it home and planning that first trip. Yes, the dealer or a private seller gave you a walk-through of the unit, but there was so much information and excitement that it was overwhelming. Now it’s in your driveway and you can’t remember everything they covered during the RV orientation, so we put it into video format so you can watch it again and again.
RV Education 101 is a leader in the industry when it comes to RV education. Our RV training is affordable and in-depth. You don’t have to be concerned if the information you are getting is correct. Your instructor is RV expert Mark Polk, an active RVer with 25+ years as an RV educator in the RV industry! Watch the RV videos, follow our original RV checklists, and read all of the RV e-books.

Fix-It-Yourself An On-Line Course in RV Maintenance
RV’s and travel trailers require regular maintenance and frequent repairs. Bringing your rig to a repair shop every time something goes wrong is costly and time consuming. Most repairs are simple and easy if you just know a few details and have the confidence to begin.
Fix It Yourself is a journey that takes you from not knowing much about your RV (if anything) to knowing all the systems in your RV and teaching you how to repair and service them.
- Save thousands in repair costs.
- Save yourself the hassle of dealing with service centers and techs that don’t know much about RVs.
- Stay sane and calm when something breaks.
- Protect your financial investment.
- Get rid of the overwhelming “I don’t know anything” feeling you have every time something makes a weird noise or breaks in your RV.
- Make you the most knowledgeable person at the campfire…and probably the most popular, too.
Learn from a certified RV tech how to fix and maintain your rig.
The course is broken into 8 modules:
- Generators
- Water Systems
- Roof Maintenance
- Tire Maintenance
- Electrical and Batteries
- AC and Furnace
- Propane
- Slides
Even if you’re not mechanically inclined this course was written for you. Learn from a certified RV technician who speaks in everyday language. This course will pay for itself in just a couple minor repairs.

Full-Time RV Travel by Macy Miller

Ashley Mann of RV Inspirations
Ashley Mann and husband Josiah live in their 38′ 5th wheel near Kansas City. She has a great blog called RV Inspiration.
She has courses on decluttering and downsizing. See them here.
“The idea of living with less stuff may sound great, but the reality of downsizing and getting rid of things can be overwhelming and even emotional.
If you are the sentimental type (like me!) who hangs on to things “just in case” or because of the memories they represent, this course will help you work up gradually to dealing with more difficult items after you first gain some momentum and taste the freedom that letting go can bring.
On the other hand, maybe you are eager to be rid of your excess clutter but just don’t know where to begin with the task. This course is for you, too, as it offers practical, actionable steps to help you get the ball rolling.”
