52 WAYS TO EMPOWER RVers
INSTRUCTORS
DANA HEXT | Owner of Empower RV, Certified RV Inspector, Certified RV Technician, Advanced Course Instruction in Solar, Air Conditioners, Water Heaters, Furnaces, Exteriors, Hydraulics, and Refrigeration
BRENDA PUCKETT | Owner of Queen Bee RV, Certified RV Inspector, Registered RV Technician, Technical Assistant and Business Course Instructor at the National RV Training Academy
I have partnered with an amazing small business owner, Brenda Puckett with Queen Bee RV, to create "52U", a core curriculum course, to teach fellow RVers all the ins and outs of their rigs. Through our training and work in the industry, we have discovered a need to fill the gap from RV purchase to RV camping with confidence. From the initial dealership Pre-Delivery Inspection walkthrough to the first time or regular use of the new RV, we have discovered there is a great lack of knowledge and opportunity to learn the systems and components within most RV's. Our instruction is designed to provide what has been missing in the RV industry!
Brenda and I are both NRVIA Certified RV Inspectors. I am also a NRVTA Certified RV Technician. Brenda is a NRVTA Registered Technician currently working towards her Certified RV Technician certification. With over 350 combined educational hours on all things RV related, our educational course is designed to teach RV owners to be more confident and knowledgeable in operating and maintaining their rigs.
We love teaching and draw on our backgrounds of coaching, education, and camping experience to create the perfect environment for our educational events. We provide an atmosphere of support and play off each other to provide a day (or two, or three) filled with funny stories, real world experiences, and in-depth knowledge of the material to help empower RV owners to hit the road with confidence.
We enjoy what we do and enjoy sharing our knowledge with other RV owners and groups!

Whether you are experienced, a newbie, in the research stage, or somewhere in between, 52U offers something for everyone!

I’ve learned more here the first day than I did in 10 years, my hats off to you gals.
Classes were very well prepared, Brenda and Dana were personal, knowledgeable, professional and also non-judgmental.
Very well presented and so nice to be taught by women.”
Thank you for posting some awesome videos. I wish more people, especially newbies, would take the time to watch your videos. Excellent presentations, thank you again."

Watched almost all your short episodes- which by the way is a great way to learn in small chunks. Three trips under my belt and I felt really prepared."
~Cathy (YouTube Subscriber)
Instructors were so articulate and educated on the entire realm of RVing. Thoroughly enjoyed it and feel so informed."
I liked the homework and time to go figure stuff out on our own rigs, that way I knew I was getting hands on time to process the info."
Such a valuable use of time for me. I needed a base set of knowledge to feel more comfortable when I travel alone and this course delivered!"
I especially loved that the instructors were women teaching women. It made ALL the difference. It was apparent they were well trained."
Favorite part: Homework! The practical application of going to my camper, looking for and finding what we talked about in class."
