We want you...
...for the Escapees RVers' Boot Camp program!

This training program provides solid fundamentals for road safety, technical proficiency, and confidence for all RVers.

We chose the “Boot Camp” theme because it describes an intense and highly efficient training program designed to teach you what you NEED to know without a lot of fluff. As a Boot Camp trainee, you will learn critical RVing skills in a fast-paced and fun environment.

Those who complete the program will be awarded a special graduate badge and earn the right to participate in the PANEL OF EXPERTS! During the panel, trainees will be given an opportunity to ask any and all questions of the Boot Camp instructors.

Upon completion of the program, you can “Stand Tall”, knowing that your RV knowledge will stand the tests of life on the road.

We will help you get the most out of your RV!

The program includes training in
• RV maintenance and operation • Hitch-up • Tire and weight safety
• Fire and life safety • Basic RV systems • RV driving • and more
