Keep in mind the above is just my opinion, there are others that have a different view. I have opted to try to maintain my coach, and keep everything reasonably functional and safe. I even upgrade things to improve the operation, like adding TPMS and GPS as well as things like LED lights, and even a new residential size RV toilet. There are other people that will buy an old leaking poorly maintained motorhome as long as its cheap, slap a couple of bandaid patches on it and hit the road. Giving no thought to the fact they are driving on worn out dry rotted tire tires, that they smell propane when they walk up to the rv because the rubber diaphragm in the 20 year old propane regulator is leaking and the LP gas alarm was disconnected instead of being replaced when its end of life alert went off 10 years ago. When things break that can't be fixed with a bandaid repair, they just live without that feature (air conditioner, generator, furnace, etc.) from then until the RV breaks down for good, or has a wheel fall off, often literally. Then of course there are those in the middle, that do some reasonably minimal level of maintenance, but feel that spending money to upgrade an older coach is a waste.
