This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to repair the frames, insulation and cladding of recreational vehicle walls and roofs. The unit addresses the identification and repair of dry rot. It does not address repairing windows, doors and external items, which MSMRV383 Repair recreational vehicle windows, doors and external items addresses.‘Repair’ includes making good in situ or removing a section (some or all) of a wall or roof that is damaged or no longer functions according to specifications and arranging for its repair or replacement; removing and replacing a section with a modernised or upgraded section(s) for better appearance, convenience or performance and installing new sections for the same reasons (such as with a body modification); resealing penetrations and installing new moulding as required, and identifying any other out-of-scope work required.The unit applies to a person working in a recreational vehicle service and repair facility who undertakes routine tasks according to work instructions, plans/specifications and procedures and uses discretion and judgement in selecting equipment, services or contingency measures. They work with a high degree of self-direction and limited supervision. They apply known solutions to routine problems and report non-routine problems according to procedures. They are responsible for their output and have limited responsibility for the output of others.No licensing or certification requirements exist at the time of publication. Relevant legislation, industry standards and codes of practice within Australia must be applied.
