Mastery: developing (Level 2)(based on Associate's Degree)

RV plumbing systems — diagnose and repair leaks independently by replacing pipes and applying caulking compound using pipe wrenches on standard coach models.
Propane gas lines — inspect, pressure-test, and repair with appropriate fittings and caulking compounds following manufacturer specifications in a service shop setting.
Furnace and rooftop air conditioning units — perform routine diagnostic checks and carry out common repairs with reduced oversight in a mid-volume RV dealership.
Frayed or mis-wired circuits — locate and correct using ohmmeters, soldering irons, and hand tools on 12-volt and 120-volt RV electrical systems.
Repaired systems and components — test operation after completing adjustments to verify completeness of work before returning units to customers.
Work orders — document labor, parts, and findings accurately using shop management or point-of-sale software to maintain service records.
Familiar repair scenarios — apply systematic troubleshooting steps to identify root causes in RV mechanical, plumbing, and electrical systems without constant direction.
Customer concerns — confer with owners and interpret their descriptions to prioritize and plan repair sequences in a busy service environment.
Equipment condition — monitor operational parameters during post-repair functional tests to confirm appliances, generators, and slide mechanisms perform within specification.
Commonly replaced RV parts — select appropriate replacement components by cross-referencing parts catalogs and supplier databases to ensure compatibility.
