Position Summary

This is a hands-on, "many hats" role at our Boise store. You will keep the lot organized and delivery-ready as a Lot Porter , and you will prepare and hand off units to customers as a Walk-Through Technician , inspecting each coach and teaching new owners how to operate their RV with confidence. It is a great fit for someone who is mechanically inclined, comfortable moving large vehicles, and enjoys helping people. This role is also a natural on-ramp toward lead technician or service advisor positions for the right person.

The Lot Porter Hat

Keeping the lot organized, safe, and ready to sell and deliver.

• Move, stage, and park motorhomes, fifth-wheels, and towable units around the lot and into service or delivery bays.
• Maintain an organized, presentable lot: logical unit placement, clear drive lanes, and tidy display areas.
• Connect and disconnect tow vehicles and trailers; hitch, back, and position units in tight spaces safely.
• Fuel, jump, and reposition units as needed; keep batteries charged and units ready to show.
• Perform basic lot upkeep: keep units clean, report damage, and flag maintenance or safety issues.
• Assist with receiving new inventory and staging sold units for delivery.

The Walk-Through Technician Hat

Preparing units and educating customers at delivery.

• Perform pre-delivery inspections (PDI) and quality checks on units before customer handoff.
• Test and verify RV systems: slide-outs, leveling/jacks, awnings, 12V/120V electrical, propane, water and holding tanks, appliances, and safety devices.
• Conduct thorough customer walk-throughs, teaching new owners how to safely operate and maintain every system on their coach.
• Answer customer questions patiently and set realistic expectations, since many buyers are new to RVing.
• Identify and document any issues found during inspection and coordinate fixes with the service team.
• Ensure each unit is clean, fully functional, and delivery-ready before the customer arrives.

What We’re Looking For

• Valid driver’s license and a clean driving record; comfortable driving and backing large vehicles (training provided).
• Mechanically inclined with a willingness to learn RV systems; prior RV, automotive, marine, or trades experience is a plus.
• Strong customer-service instincts: patient, clear, and friendly when teaching first-time owners.
• Dependable, safety-minded, and organized, with attention to detail.
• Able to work independently and as part of a team in a fast-paced environment.
• Comfortable working outdoors in varying weather and on your feet for much of the day.

Physical Requirements

• Frequently walk, stand, bend, kneel, climb in and out of units, and reach overhead throughout the shift.
• Lift and maneuver items up to 50 lbs; operate hitches, jacks, and leveling equipment.
• Work outdoors in heat, cold, and precipitation as the season requires.

Compensation & Growth

Full-time hourly position; rate depends on experience (see quick facts above, and set the range before posting). This role is intentionally cross-trained: strong performers have a clear path toward lead technician, service advisor, or delivery specialist roles as the Idaho store grows.
