The failures have been coming faster than I anticipated but thankfully I've been able to deal with them at home and do all of the labor.
It's certainly been a learning experience and tuition is never free.

Good post Tom and consider yourself lucky you can do all the labor. That will save you a bunch. I also consider that if I had bought a new or newer coach with monthly payments I would still not be free of maintenance and storage charges and of a lot of other maintenance expenses. I just returned from a short camping trip to a local campground where I sat in a row of 5 coaches and the other four were all units that sold for a million dollars or more. We all talked during the time we were there and we were all enjoying our coaches but several of the million dollar coach owners were also telling me of big expenses they had too so that made me feel a lot better. In actuality it is how much you can afford and don't trick yourself into believing that any RV will be expense free for any set amount of time. By the way Tom, I cannot do most of my labor requirements so that $115 to $139 per hour adds up fast.
