About the certification
In Ontario, Recreation Vehicle Technician is trade code 690H, a non-compulsory trade administered by Skilled Trades Ontario. The apprenticeship is about 7,000 hours: 6,280 on the job and 720 in school. Ontario RV technicians typically also hold a TSSA gas certification. Across Canada it is the Red Seal trade Recreation Vehicle Service Technician, so passing the Certificate of Qualification exam also earns the interprovincial Red Seal endorsement.
The Red Seal exam has 120 multiple-choice questions in 8 blocks: common occupational skills (10 questions), plumbing systems (17), electrical systems (22), LP gas systems (18), appliances and consumer products (18), interior and exterior components (15), frames and mechanical components (12) and towing systems (8). Under 10% of the questions test knowledge and recall, 50 to 60% procedural and application, and 30 to 40% critical thinking. The interprovincial exam information gives the pass mark as 70%.
ExamHub's free 690H practice quiz has 178 original questions weighted to the real exam blocks and tasks, with an explanation and a source for every answer. They are written from the 2022 Red Seal Occupational Standard, Ontario's propane regulation (O. Reg. 211/01) and the Highway Traffic Act safety-inspection regulation (R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 611).

Five sample questions from the question bank, with the answer and explanation.
Why: The RSOS lists contaminated eyewash stations as a deficiency; defective safety equipment must be reported, tagged, removed from service and documented. Rinsing it or waiting leaves a unit that could harm a worker's eyes in service.
Why: The RSOS says pumps are activated to verify normal operation according to manufacturers' specifications. Another unit's behaviour, customer preference or a city supply rate are not the standard for judging a pump.
Why: Watt's law gives I = P / V = 1500 / 120 = 12.5 A. Multiplying watts by volts (180 000) or subtracting them (1380) is incorrect, and 0.08 A results from dividing the wrong way around.
Why: The RSOS requires the system and containers to be visually inspected for expiry date and for damage such as rust, dents and damaged welds. The other items are not what the inspection of the container is aimed at.
Why: The thermostat is tested by cycling the unit and confirming it cycles at the specified temperature, which needs a high temperature thermometer. A manometer reads gas pressure, and the other tools do not measure oven temperature either.
