Athens, Texas — December 1, 2025 — The 2025 RVTAA & NRVIA EXPO wrapped up last week at the National RV Training Academy campus in Athens, Texas. It became one of the most successful events the organizations have ever hosted. Over three days, certified RV technicians, inspectors, vendors, instructors, and industry partners came together for training, networking, and hands-on skills development.
Held November 23–25, the EXPO reached its highest attendance yet. The growing interest reflects the rising demand for well-trained RV service professionals who can support a rapidly expanding RV community.
Packed Training Sessions and New CEU Achievements
This year’s EXPO offered a full schedule of continuing education. Sessions covered advanced diagnostics, safety procedures, business strategies, and high-value inspection methods.
Because of the demand, many classes filled up long before the event began.
Breakout sessions on chassis and brake inspections, solar and power management, and roof and exterior evaluations stayed at full capacity. Instructors noted that attendees arrived prepared and ready to dive into complex topics.
As a result, participants earned record numbers of CEUs. These credits help technicians and inspectors maintain RVTAA or NRVIA certification and stay competitive in today’s fast-moving RV marketplace.
A Strong Vendor Hall and Supportive Industry Partners
The vendor hall stayed busy from morning to evening. Tool manufacturers, component suppliers, reporting platforms, insurance partners, and business-support providers met with attendees throughout the event.
Many vendors reported higher-than-expected interest in their products and services. Attendees searched for updated tools, improved inspection software, and business solutions that can support a growing mobile RV service business.
According to sponsors, the EXPO brought together one of the most motivated groups of professionals they have seen in years.
A New Level of Community and Connection
The sense of community stood out as one of the biggest achievements of the 2025 EXPO.
Attendees reconnected with classmates from their NRVTA training and formed new professional relationships with technicians and inspectors from across the country.
Evening meetups, instructor roundtables, and peer-to-peer discussion groups remained full each night. These gatherings confirmed how important the technician and inspector network has become for business owners who rely on shared experience to serve RV customers effectively.
Positive Feedback and Higher Skill Levels Across the Board
Post-event surveys showed overwhelmingly positive feedback. Attendees highlighted:
-
Workshops that offered real-world business support
-
Instructors who stayed after sessions to answer questions
-
A sense of momentum in both professions
-
More confidence in their skills heading home
Many said it was the most impactful EXPO they had attended. The mix of hands-on labs, expert instruction, and practical application made an immediate difference in their ability to serve RV owners.
A Milestone Year for Both Associations
The success of the 2025 EXPO reflects the continued growth of RV service and inspection careers nationwide. As more RV owners rely on certified professionals, the RVTAA and NRVIA remain essential to raising service standards, supporting small businesses, and protecting consumers.
Because of the strong turnout and positive feedback, organizers have already begun planning the 2026 EXPO. Expanded CEU options and new training tracks are being considered.
