The RV Safety and Education Foundation (RVSEF) has recently taken up the baton of RV education, replacing the popular and successful Life On Wheels RV Conferences that were canceled upon the death of Gaylord Maxwell, its driving force and guiding spirit. RVSEF is conducting its first school for RVers this year during the Pennsylvania RV and Camping Show in Harrisburg September 13 – 16, 2009.
Walter Cannon, Executive director of RVSEF, is familiar with Life On Wheels, having taught RV safety classes there before its demise. The new class roster will include technical classes on understanding and troubleshooting RV appliances, safety issues like brakes, towing, weighing your RV, driving instruction. as well as lifestyle classes. and all conducted by experts and long time RVers.
This is a difficult economy to start a venture such as this, as valuable a resource as it is, and RVSEF will need all the help it can get. So talk it up to your friends who are just purchasing their first RV, those that have already started the RV lifestyle yet want to learn more, and those that have been on the road for several years and want to become more independent and self sufficient, as well as learning about what new equipment is coming on the market.
You can see a description of the safety clinic and the courses offered on the RVSEF Web site.
