If it's not one, it's another
2,600 miles later....... First it was the toilet. 20 years of use finally took its toll. The cable that operates the water supply in the toilet decided it was too tired to continue. That happened on ...

Thanks for my laugh of the day. Had to read this one.
We are rolling around the country with a 2007 5er which has had well over 1800 nights spent in it & some 220,000 truck miles. With age & use stuff goes wrong. It has been in storage, & not even seen, since last October but the spring refit list is well underway where we actually do go into a boatyard to do the work.
The Amazon order for known issues gets placed in a week or so. I am figuring 3-4 days of boatyard work. Any longer & they start threatening to launch me with the travel lift.
Just look at all the money you save keeping that trailer and old boat!
Yes, that 32' diesel powered boat would probably be well over $5K worth of maintenance each year BEFORE turning the key for the first time.
The truck & 5er are well under that. You get to a point where the depreciation rate curve flattens out considerably but things needing attention increase & can get expensive such as new stove this year.
