Get Hands-On Training at The ONLY CERTIFIED RV Refrigeration Reconditioning Center in the U.S.A.!

 Welcome to the world of RV Refrigeration Reconditioning Training! We at Ford RV would like to offer RV Service Techs, HVAC Service techs, or anyone else interested, a chance to start your own business, or add on to your already existing business, by inviting you to attend the ONLY Certified RV Refrigeration Training Center in the country.

Given the enormous number of Motor-homes, Campers, Boats, Cabins, Amish communities and other remote areas in the world, there is a huge demand for people who can not only service these refrigerators, but who can completely recondition them.

Ford RV offers you a chance to be fully trained as a certified reconditioning specialist through hands-on training from the leading RV Refrigeration Training center in the United States.

It is possible to learn the procedures from "The Ford Procedures", RV Refrigerator Reconditioning manual.  However, Ford RV Refrigeration offers you the opportunity to see repairs first-hand and to do actual reconditioning and recharging under the supervision of the man who wrote the manual! We provide training on a one-on-one basis so that you get our total attention. Ford RV does recommend that you read "The Ford Procedures" manual before coming for refrigeration training.
