RV Education 101 is a North Carolina-based company that produces and sells educational videos, DVDs, books and ebooks. Owned and operated by Mark and Dawn Polk, RV Education 101 is a widely acclaimed resource for learning everything there is to know about owning an RV. Mark's extensive background working in the RV industry as a service technician and salesman provided the unique perspective for him to see the need for a more educated RVer. New RV owners left the dealership with excitement, but little practical knowledge on how to properly maintain, repair and enjoy their RV to its fullest. This is what led him to launch RV Education 101 in 1999. His wife, Dawn, joined the company as its Sales & Marketing Director after also having worked in the RV industry.

Some of the tips are common sense, some you learn from experience, and some were passed on from other RVers. And some were contributed from the Polk's 6-year-old son Tyler!"Hello Dawn and Mark. I found your RV Education 101 web site. I downloaded the Collection (101) RV Tips E book. Wow, so much good information. Then I said to my wife, if the E Book is this good, I wonder how good the Tapes and DVD's must be. I ordered 3 tapes. THEY ARE GREAT and very informative. I want to take this time out and tell you both that I am happy that we have people like you both to help people like me. Again, thanks to the both of you. P.S. I also told the RV dealer that they should order the collection of all your Tapes and DVD's and I will pass your name around also." Stephen Mason, New Jersey.
