And you will most likely want to be fully conversant with the RV build..... and go over the thing with a very fine toothed comb.

They guy we had do ours is an RV guru, and he even misses the odd thing.

You can never be too careful. If the a/c is built right and rigged right it will fly pretty much sttraigh out of the box. Its fuel systems that you need to be 1000% sure of. poor joints etc....go over the plane looking for defects, if you do not find at least 3....go over it again. And if you still cant find 3, find someone who can!
