Are you an RV dealership technician ready for a change of pace?
Or maybe you’re new to the trade but love hands-on work, tools, and learning something different every day?
At California RV Specialists, we’re not a dealership — we don’t sell RVs or push warranties. Our focus is on customer pay, insurance, and extended warranty repairs, helping our customers maintain and enjoy the RVs they already own.
We’re growing fast and looking for a Hitch & Tow Vehicle Technician Apprentice to join our team. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys mechanical work, wiring, and problem-solving and wants to build a lasting career in the RV and towing industry.

- Entry-Level Pay: $16.50–$24/hr + monthly bonuses ($250–$750)
- 401(k) Plan + 2 Weeks Paid Time Off after qualifying period
- Closed for All Major Holidays

- Supportive, Family-Oriented Atmosphere
- Consistent, Year-Round Work (No Seasonal Layoffs)

As a Hitch & Tow Vehicle Technician Apprentice, you’ll receive hands-on training in the installation, service, and setup of towing and hitch systems for RVs and tow vehicles.
