Welcome to the Family: Finding Purpose and a Place in RV Life

Have you ever wondered why you’re exactly where you are at this moment? Why you’ve arrived here, maybe at a crossroads, feeling a little lost, or trying to figure out your next steps? For many, life’s unexpected twists and turns—whether from job layoffs, personal losses, or the aftershocks of major events like the pandemic—can shake up the path we thought we were on. But if you’re reading this, there’s a good chance you’re exactly where you’re meant to be, part of a journey bigger than you might have imagined.

Why You’re Here

For many RV enthusiasts and aspiring technicians, this journey is about more than just learning to repair and maintain RVs. It’s about discovering a purpose and building connections that often feel as close as family. When I started this training program years ago, I knew that we were creating something that went beyond just technical skills. We wanted to provide a community, a family of support, and a place where people could connect with others who understood them.

It’s common for our students to experience life-altering changes during their time with us. People show up with personal stories, some filled with losses or challenges that may have seemed insurmountable. But every experience, every twist in the road, is a step in the journey we’re meant to walk. Each day here is a chance to lean into these experiences, to learn from one another, and to grow both as individuals and as a community.

Building a Supportive Community

When you arrive here, you’re joining a family, one built on a shared commitment to growth, learning, and mutual support. This isn’t just about technical skills—it’s about building bonds that can last a lifetime. Many of our students leave here with relationships that run deeper than some family connections, knowing they could call on these new friends at any time, even in the middle of the night. That’s the kind of trust and camaraderie that comes from shared experiences and understanding.

Whether you’re here for a few days or a few weeks, you’ll find that this community has a place for everyone. And we ask our students to pay it forward, knowing that they’ll eventually meet people in the RV community who might need a hand or a bit of guidance. Sometimes, it’s not about making money; it’s about helping someone when they need it most.

A Journey of Faith and Hard Work

This journey didn’t happen overnight, and neither did this facility. It started with a simple prayer for guidance and an openness to whatever life had in store. I had been at a crossroads myself, dealing with a job that didn’t feel right and wondering where my life was headed. That’s when I stumbled upon the story of Jabez from the Bible—a story that inspired me to ask for something more, to expand my life and opportunities without causing pain or harm.

That prayer set things in motion, leading to unexpected opportunities and people. It’s what ultimately led me here, to this park and to this training facility, even if it seemed like an impossible journey. We took risks, trusted in the path ahead, and found unexpected allies who believed in our mission. Through a lot of hard work, faith, and the support of some incredible people, this facility was built with a purpose.

A Place for You

Now, as you walk through these halls or sit in your classes, remember that this space was created for you. Every detail, from the classrooms to the curriculum, has been designed to help you grow, both in skill and in spirit. You’re here because you’re supposed to be. You’re part of a family that believes in the value of learning, the strength of community, and the importance of paying it forward.

This isn’t just about preparing you for a job or a career in RV repair—it’s about setting you on a path toward purpose and fulfillment. We’re thrilled to welcome you to the family, to be part of your journey, and to see where it leads you. So, whether you’re here to gain technical skills, find a supportive community, or take a step toward a new chapter, know that you’re exactly where you’re meant to be.

Conclusion As you dive into your classes and meet others in this journey, take a moment to reflect. This is more than a training program; it’s a place of purpose, growth, and community. Embrace the relationships, the lessons, and the opportunities that come your way. Welcome to the family, and remember—you’re exactly where you’re meant to be.
