Peace of Mind Comes From Standards, Not Hope

I help RV owners get unstuck by making RV maintenance and travel simple and practical. Most people don’t need more information — they need clarity. I cut through the noise and break things down in a way that’s honest, easy to understand, and immediately useful. There’s no tech-speak, no scare tactics, and no fluff — just real talk that helps your listeners avoid breakdowns, plan smarter, and travel with confidence.

As a veteran and founder of The RV Doctor, I bring a perspective that’s built on precision, service, and showing up when it counts. I meet your audience where they are, speak their language, and make sure they walk away informed, empowered, and ready to take action.

Things I love to talk about...

I'm a certified RV technician, Navy veteran, and founder of The RV Doctor. I’ve spent decades solving problems under pressure — from the military to the service bay — and I understand how people break down just as often as machines do. I love sharing real-world, practical advice to help RV owners stay prepared, avoid costly mistakes, and get back to what matters: enjoying the road ahead.

The Real Reason RVs Break Down (And How to Prevent It):
Most breakdowns are avoidable. I break down the small things that lead to big problems — and how RV owners can stay ahead of costly surprises.
Why the RV Repair Industry is Broken — and What We’re Doing About It:
From misdiagnoses to mystery invoices, I pull back the curtain on the RV service industry and share how we’re building something radically different at The RV Doctor.
How to Keep Your RV Road-Ready All Year — Without Overwhelm:
I give your listeners a simple maintenance mindset and seasonal checkpoints that keep them confident, not scrambling.
What Most First-Time RV Owners Get Wrong:
There’s a lot of bad advice out there. I share the top mistakes new RV owners make — and what they should focus on instead.
From the Military to the Motorhome: Building a Mission-Driven Business:
As a veteran, I talk about how service, leadership, and systems-thinking shaped our business — and why they matter more than ever in an industry built on trust.

What Others Say About Me

Finally, someone who knows what they’re doing and actually shows up on time. We’ve had other techs misdiagnose things and disappear for weeks. The RV Doctor was different from the first phone call. Clear pricing, certified tech, and the job was done right the first time.

I didn’t even know there was something wrong. John found the leak before it ruined our spring trip. We booked a Heartbeat Checkup thinking it was just routine. John found a hairline crack in our roof seal that would've turned into a disaster. He resealed it on the spot. Worth every penny for the peace of mind.

The RV Confidence Club is a no-brainer. Our RV is always ready, and I never stress about last-minute trips. The Confidence Club gives me exactly what I didn’t know I needed... priority service, winterization, and one less thing on my to-do list. If you’re a busy parent who camps with kids, this is it.

They saved our trip. Literally. We had water dripping from the ceiling the day before our annual family trip. The RV Doctor got us in, fixed the issue, and explained how to prevent it next time. We left on time, stress-free.

Making RV Maintenance Simple,

Not Overwhelming

Most RV owners feel overwhelmed the moment something stops working — and the industry doesn’t make it easy to get straight answers. I simplify the complex systems behind every rig and help people understand exactly what they need to know, without the jargon or fear-based upsells.

By combining real-world diagnostics with practical advice, I give RV owners the clarity to make smart decisions, avoid costly repairs, and stay ahead of the problems that ruin trips. It’s not about knowing everything — it’s about knowing the right things. That’s what gives people confidence behind the wheel.

Leading with Precision, Service,

and Trust

Today’s service businesses don’t just need better systems — they need better leadership. After serving in the U.S. Navy and running high-trust teams in construction and repair industries, I’ve seen firsthand what happens when leadership cuts corners — and what happens when it doesn’t.

I speak to the kind of leadership that’s built on discipline, consistency, and service. My approach is simple: do it right the first time, communicate clearly, and earn trust before asking for it. Whether I’m training a new technician or mentoring a business owner, I believe leadership is less about control and more about commitment to the people you serve.

Helping RV Owners Take Control, Not Just Take Trips

Too many people treat RV ownership like a gamble — hoping nothing breaks and scrambling when it does. I help them flip the script by showing how small, proactive steps lead to huge wins on the road.

Peace of mind doesn’t come from a warranty or roadside assistance app. It comes from understanding your rig, partnering with the right pros, and having systems in place that let you focus on the trip — not the what-ifs. Whether I’m talking with full-timers or weekend warriors, my goal is always the same: help them feel in control, not at the mercy of their RV.

about me

Meet John Baranik

John Baranik

Founder

Veteran. Certified Tech. Founder of The RV Doctor.

I’ve spent my life solving problems under pressure — first in the U.S. Navy, then in construction, and now in the RV world. I started The RV Doctor because I was tired of seeing good people stuck on the side of the road, handed bloated bills, or waiting weeks for repairs that should’ve been done right the first time.

I believe peace of mind shouldn’t be a luxury for RV owners — it should be the standard. That’s why everything we do is built on three things: precision, service, and trust. Whether we’re sealing a roof or rebuilding a system, we do it with the same discipline I learned in the military — show up, know your craft, and never cut corners.

As a certified RV technician and founder of a shop trusted by over 100 premium brands, I bring deep expertise and a straight-talking, practical approach to every conversation. I don’t just help people fix problems — I help them prevent them, so they can get back to what matters: freedom, family, and the road ahead.
