Thanks.what part of RVing do you have the most knowledge/experience or is your most enjoyment ?It doesn't matter what your presentation is just that you show your passion for the theme you choose, imho
Then do a talk about troubleshooting in general. How to examine a problem and determine the root cause. Through methodical, logical thinking and testing. Not...well, I'll buy this part first because Bill over there replaced it on his trailer and his works now.Diagnosing and fixing a problem are fun.

I, personally, think that's an excellent topic. Maybe put in some instructions/examples of a clamp-on amp meter, and maybe a non-contact voltage detector. None of which are expensive tools to have, and are almost all necessary to troubleshoot electrical problems.I've been thinking about this troubleshooting idea.
You might have a hard time troubleshooting electrical problems, so I'm going to teach how to use a voltmeter.
More to come, KEN
I might be guilty of this occasionally..or - why people pulling RVs shouldn't hog the middle lane of a 3 lane highway when the right hand lane is clear and not in a busy area.
Thanks Howard.I, personally, think that's an excellent topic. Maybe put in some instructions/examples of a clamp-on amp meter, and maybe a non-contact voltage detector. None of which are expensive tools to have, and are almost all necessary to troubleshoot electrical problems.
Those are all great ideas Larry.I'd ask the person who asked you to speak what they had in mind.
Or - how to relocate a Furrion temp sensor from the unit to a wall.
Or - how to check a frame for "hot skin".
Or - how you plan for a trip
or - how to not use tank chemicals in favor of lots of water to keep them fresh and flushed
or - how to make use of a spotter when backing up
or - why people pulling RVs shouldn't hog the middle lane of a 3 lane highway when the right hand lane is clear and not in a busy area.

If for some reason a person had trouble with; oh lets say hydraulic jacks and they called Lippert. The first thing Lippert is going to ask; is what's the voltage from here to there.Imo, talking about how to use a voltmeter would be very useful to a lot of people. A lot of people look at using a voltmeter as a scary endeavour.
Thanks for the offer and I agree about the fear factor. Fear is there for a reason and teaching safety helps build confidence.If you choose to do the topic of how to use a voltmeter, preface the instructions with sound electrical safety fundamentals first. People that are not familiar with electrical systems and/or know very little about Electrical stuff are afraid of electricity in general, thus the hesitancy to learn/use voltmeters or multi-meters. Hopefully have enough background in electrical to talk about that first. If not, hit me up for some guidance....I'd be glad to help.
