Yep, any RV is all about MAINTENANCE, MAINTENANCE and more Maintenance.
Batteries have a practical life of 3 to 5 years (maybe 6 to 7 years) in normal use. A/C units are a big question, 5 years and up. The older units would make 20 years with care. Newer units 5 to 10 years. But again maintenance of cleaning filters and yearly washing of the coils in the roof top portion.
Leaks...check the caulk and seals twice a year and make repairs as necessary.
Another often overlooked are is the brakes, bearings and tires.
An RV is not a low maintenance item to park beside the house and then latch on to it an take off a few time a year.
After all of the maintenance, you get to go enjoy the RV.
