Forest River will host its first-ever West Coast Dealer Technician Training on Oct. 21-23 at the new Forest River Service Center in Hemet, California. This three-day, hands-on program reflects Forest River’s ongoing commitment to supporting dealers with the tools, knowledge and certification needed to succeed in today’s RV service landscape, the company said in a release.
Previously offered only at sessions in Indiana, the expanded West Coast training now brings these opportunities closer to home for dealers who have long requested localized support.
RV Dealer Technician-Focused Training
Over the course of three days, participating technicians will receive free technical training from leading industry suppliers. Sessions will cover key areas including RV furnaces, slideout systems, air conditioners and flooring, along with OEM training in electrical, paneling, metal change and multiplex systems.
Participants will also benefit from:
- Practical instruction on Forest River’s newest units and systems
- Diagnostic procedures, warranty requirements and repair protocols
- Updates from vendors and Forest River experts on the latest tools and techniques
- Qualification for RVTI continuing education units (CEUs) upon successful completion
Why This Matters — For Dealers, Technicians & Customers
As RVs integrate advanced systems and diagnostics, service proficiency has become essential. This program is designed to:
- Build technician confidence and competency
- Improve service efficiency and productivity
- Enhance customer satisfaction
- Reduce warranty costs for dealers and customers
“Continuous learning is what sets top-performing service departments apart,” said Doug Deter, director of parts and services. “We’re excited to bring this training to the West Coast, where dealers will gain the skills and confidence needed to deliver best-in-class solutions.”
Forest River said it invites all dealer-technicians and service leaders to consider: How will enhanced technical certification and updated skills help your team stand out? “If you want to reduce downtime, improve repair accuracy and provide the kind of expertise customers notice, this training is for you,” the company said.
