How much does an RV technician maku?

Answer 1

It depends on your experience, the tools you own, your vendor and manufacturer certifications, the market you are living in, and the current demand for your particular skill set. I started out in the RV business in 1989, making minimum wage, washing and detailing the units to be delivered. I moved into the service department a year later as a "prep" tech, getting new and used units ready for delivery. I worked my way up to service technician about 25 years ago, and have spent the majority of my career in the central Iowa area. I haven't gotten rich, but I own my home, and am comfortable. In 2009, I was hired at a small shop @ $16/hr. In 90days, I got a $2. raise. When I left there in 2014, I was making $19/hr with paid health insurance and a couple grand in a 401k. A month later I was hired by a different dealer @ $20/hr, partial insurance, and a $1000. sign-on bonus. I got an even better offer eight months later and started at $22/hr. 401k, PTO and flex, good, low-cost health insurance, and an incentive plan. Again, not rich, but I have a good life, and I don't call anyone to repair my house, or cars...
