Book Description

This analysis is directed at the recreational vehicle (RV) mechanic who is required to troubleshoot, disassemble, repair, assemble, maintain, install, adjust, test, and modify components & systems on motor homes, trailers, truck campers, and mobile vehicles. The analysis identifies tasks and sub-tasks performed by a RV mechanic, arranged in blocks of distinct operations relevant to that occupation. These blocks include workplace safety, basic job skills, plumbing systems, electrical systems, propane gas systems, appliances, interior components & exterior shell, towing & chassis components, and accessories. For each task, the document outlines the element of skill and knowledge needed to perform the task adequately, identifies any shifts or changes in technology that affect the task, lists tools and equipment required for the task, and provides an indication of whether the task has been validated by each province and territory. The appendix includes a list of tools and equipment used in the occupation, and a tabulation of the percentage of time a worker spends performing each block and task in a given year (by province/territory and for Canada as a whole).
