The Trades Podcast: Why An RV Technician Is The “Knight on a White Horse”

RV Technical Institute Executive Director Curtis Hemmeler joined The Trades Podcast with hosts Jeff Mudd and DJ Danny to spotlight how RV technician careers are powering the future of RVing—and why this is a skilled trade worth investing in.

The RV Technical Institute is the only industry-backed training program certifying RV technicians nationwide and prioritizes connecting graduates with career opportunities. As RVs get more advanced, techs must keep pace to meet the demand. That’s where the Institute's evolving curriculum, shaped by manufacturers and suppliers, comes in.

“An RV means something different to every user—families on vacation, travel nurses, outdoor adventurers, even homeschooling families. RV technicians keep those dreams moving,” shared Hemmeler.

Driving the conversation:

• The podcast hosts were so inspired that they enrolled in the RV Technical Institute's Level 1 training themselves.
• Hemmeler emphasized that the career path is hands-on, future-proof, and AI-resistant.
• RVing will continue to grow as more humans seek reprieve from life’s daily demands.
• Hemmeler's advice to young people: Invest in your future and have options.
