Observed: scored from AI use recorded in the Anthropic Economic Index (June 2026 release), 1 of 17 tasks. Estimated: scored from the task's O*NET 30.3 work activity, 16 of 17. Importance is O*NET's 1 to 5 rating of how central the task is. Model tier is the lowest tier that can do the task under the published rubric; "No tier" marks hands-on work.
The model tier this role needs
An efficient-tier model or lower covers 48% of the role's importance-weighted task work. 54% of the work is something AI can address at some tier, and 46% is hands-on.
Efficient, standard and frontier tiers come from the JobRoute model tier reference. The recommended tier is the lowest one that covers 80% of the work AI can address. How the method works.

Questions about Recreational Vehicle Service Technicians and AI
Will AI replace Recreational Vehicle Service Technicians?
Not on current evidence. None of the 17 tasks O*NET lists for this occupation reaches a task exposure of 60, the level at which JobRoute counts a task as handled by AI, and the role's importance-weighted exposure is 20 out of 100. JobRoute scores tasks, not whole jobs, so the score shows how much of the work changes rather than whether the job disappears.
What is the AI exposure of Recreational Vehicle Service Technicians?
20 out of 100 on JobRoute's task exposure measure, the importance-weighted average of the role's O*NET task scores. Higher means more of the work is AI-doable today. 1 of the 17 task scores are observed in the Anthropic Economic Index (June 2026 release), and the other 16 are estimated from each task's O*NET work activity.
Which Recreational Vehicle Service Technicians tasks can AI already do?
None reaches 60 yet. The most exposed task is: List parts needed, estimate costs, and plan work procedures, using parts lists, technical manuals, or diagrams, at 50 out of 100.
What AI model tier does this role need?
An efficient-tier model or lower covers 48% of the role's importance-weighted task work, and 46% is hands-on work that no model tier covers. JobRoute assigns each task the lowest tier that can do it under a published rubric and recommends the lowest tier that covers 80% of the work AI can address.
How many people work as Recreational Vehicle Service Technicians, and what do they earn?
17,430 people in the United States, with a median annual wage of $52,000 (BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, May 2025). BLS Employment Projections expect a change of +11.5% from 2024 to 2034.
