An “RVer’s RV event,” the seminars address many topics in a friendly and stress-free atmosphere.
The RV Owners Lifestyle Seminars, hosted by the Recreation Vehicle Dealers Association of BC (RVDA of BC) incorporation with Okanagan College, is scheduled from June 23 to 26 in Kelowna, BC. In its 26th year, all new and seasoned RVers are once again welcome to attend and learn about a variety of best practices to further enjoy their RV lifestyle.
Hosted at Okanagan College, the RV Owners Lifestyle Seminars schedules more than 40 sessions over three days and are presented by expert speakers and manufacturers in a friendly, stress-free environment.
Whether you own a teardrop trailer or Class A diesel pusher, there are seminars for everyone. They range from visiting new, unique travel destinations and RV maintenance tips to practising healthy living on the road and travelling with pets.
The event was founded by Al Cohoe, a former instructor at Okanagan College, who recognized a need for more resources in the RV community. The seminars have enlightened countless Canadian RVers for more than two decades.
