RVW National Convention, Shawnee OK


The convention was held at The Heart of Oklahoma Expo Center in Shawnee, OK.

Although, this event was scheduled to begin on November 6. Many participants arrived on October 30th to meet friends and enjoy pre-convention activities (i.e. city tours, shopping and dining out as chapter members.

The event included many classes, activities and group gatherings, However, as a new RV Owner, I attend a concert and signed-up for two classes: Basic and Advanced RV Maintenance Workshop which covered the following topics:

RV components (i.e. Refrigerator, ice maker, cook top, oven, convect oven, microwave, water heater, generator, furnace, fire extinguishers, carbon detector, smoke detector and more.) These classes were taught by Barbara Jording, a Certified RV Technician and fantastic instructor.

This class provided so much information that I immediately decided I was NOT climbing on top of my rv to check the roof and reseal vents and seams; electrical components, appliances and burner ignites. However, I will purchase suggested tools to make sure the person repairing these items is using the required tool.

Meanwhile, I would continue to perform tasks such as replace lights bulbs, check oil level, check fuel supply, check air filter, replace spark plugs and check tire pressure. I will leave other repairs to the experts.
