๐Ÿš RV Service Apprentice (Part-Time with Full-Time Potential)

TrailSmiths Mobile RV Repair is growing, and we're looking for the right person to grow with us.

We're not looking for someone who already knows everything about RVs. We're looking for someone with the right attitude, strong character, and a willingness to learn. If you're dependable, enjoy working with your hands, and like solving problems, we'll teach you the RV-specific skills.

We believe skills can be taught. Character can't.

โœ… What You'll Be Doing

You'll work alongside the owner learning every aspect of mobile RV repair, including:

* Air conditioner service and repair
* Plumbing and water systems
* 12-volt and 120-volt electrical systems
* Water heaters and appliances
* Roof inspections and sealant repairs
* Slide-out systems
* Accessory installations
* Troubleshooting and diagnostics

To start, you'll ride along with the owner on service calls while learning the trade. As your skills grow, you'll take on more responsibility with the goal of eventually running your own service calls. As our business continues to grow, we also plan to add another service vehicle and transition this position into an independent technician role.

๐Ÿ“ What We're Looking For

The ideal candidate will have:

* A strong work ethic
* Reliability and punctuality
* Friendly customer service skills
* A positive attitude
* Mechanical aptitude and a desire to learn
* Carpentry, construction, maintenance, or trade experience (preferred)
* Plumbing or electrical experience (a plus)
* A valid driver's license
* The ability to lift 50 pounds, climb ladders, and work on RV roofs

RV experience is **not** required.

๐Ÿ“… Schedule

* Approximately 20โ€“30 hours per week
* Primarily Monday through Friday between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM
* Flexible scheduling may be available for the right candidate, especially if balancing school or other commitments
* Opportunity for full-time employment as the business continues to grow

๐Ÿ’ต Pay

Starting pay is **$15โ€“$20 per hour**, depending on experience, skills, and overall aptitude. Greater earning potential is possible once trained.

๐Ÿšš Tools & Travel

Most work is performed within about a 40โ€“60 mile radius of Breese.

Company tools are available, although having your own basic hand tools is a plus.

โญ Why TrailSmiths?

We're a locally owned company that's building a reputation for doing things differently.

Unlike many dealerships, we believe customers shouldn't have to wait months for quality repairs. We take pride in providing honest, dependable service while treating every customer's RV as if it were our own.

We're looking for someone who wants more than just a paycheck. We want to mentor someone, invest in their future, and build a team that enjoys serving customers the right way.

If you're looking for an opportunity to learn a skilled trade, work with a growing company, and be part of something from the beginning, we'd love to hear from you.

Email your resumeโ€”or simply tell us about yourself, your work experience, and why you'd be a good fitโ€”to [email protected].

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Bonus points if you answer this question:
Tell us about something you've built, repaired, or fixed that you're proud of.

Your smoke, CO, and LP detectors are some of the most important equipment in your RVโ€ฆ and theyโ€™re often the most forgotten. ๐Ÿšจ

Most RV safety detectors only last about 5 years before they should be replaced.

At the start of each camping season, take a few minutes to:
โœ… Test every alarm
โœ… Check and replace batteries if applicable
โœ… Look for expiration dates on the back
โœ… Replace outdated detectors

These little devices protect you while you sleep โ€” donโ€™t assume theyโ€™re still working just because they arenโ€™t chirping.

Need help checking your RVโ€™s safety systems? TrailSmiths Mobile RV Repair can help make sure your detectors and appliances are operating safely before your next trip.

We come to you.

RV awnings are designed for shade โ€” not heavy rain, strong winds, or surprise Midwest weather tantrums. One gust is all it takes to bend arms, rip fabric, or damage the side of your RV.

We can fix this, but it breaks our heart every time we have to.

If youโ€™re leaving the campsite, going to bed, or storms are rolling inโ€ฆ put the awning IN. Your future self (and your wallet) will thank you.

We come to you.

This is why your RV should be inspected at least once a year. ๐Ÿ‘€

What youโ€™re looking at is a severely rusted RV water heater burner assembly. The burner tube is completely gone โ€” creating a serious ๐Ÿ”ฅ fire hazard that the owner had no idea existed.

๐ŸŒฑ Many RV appliance issues start small and go unnoticed until they become dangerous.

At minimum, inspect your appliances yearly ๐Ÿ—“ for rust, soot, damaged wiring, debris, or anything unusual. Or have us look everything over to help keep your RV safe on the road.

๐Ÿ›ž RV Spring Maintenance: Donโ€™t Overlook Your Suspension ๐Ÿ›ž

Your RVโ€™s leaf springs are essential for supporting weight, maintaining ride quality, and keeping your axles properly aligned. Like any suspension component, they require periodic inspection to stay in good working condition.

Routine checks can help identify:
โ€ข Cracked or broken leaves
โ€ข Sagging or uneven ride height
โ€ข Worn bushings or shackles
โ€ข Loose or damaged mounting hardware

Ignoring these issues can lead to poor handling, uneven tire wear, and added stress on other components. We've even seen it cause a blowout!

For added durability and safety, many RV owners choose to upgrade components such as heavy-duty shackles or reinforced hardware to improve overall suspension performance. We can help with that!

๐Ÿ”ง Not sure what condition your suspension is in? We can help. Our certified technician provides on-site inspections and service to keep your RV riding safely and smoothly.

Contact us today to schedule an inspection or discuss suspension upgrades.

We can fix this. And you can prevent this by adding screens to the exhaust ports of the RV furnace in the months that you don't use the furnace. Here's where you can get them: https://amzn.to/3RKt7rV

Take a peek UNDER your slideout and be sure that the Flex Guards are still intact. These flex guards contain your electrical wiring and ensure they stay in the correct position while operating your slide. If it breaks, you put extra stress on the wiring, leading to big problems in the future.
