Anyone make a mistake buying first MH ?
Just curious.. No matter how much research you do , it seems there is no substitute for owning and using a MH.. Anyone buy one and then realize you made a mistake on the first one.. If so, how did you...

I'm new to the board, so if I'm dredging up a topic that's old, sorry, saw it and had to reply.
We bought our MH three years ago, and it's been a love hate relationship. We made so many mistakes from being uninformed, naive, young, or just plain stupid.
Pretty much the major mistake was thinking we were getting a great deal on a motorhome that was quite old, but only had 30k miles on it. It has bled money from us to get it to this point of finally being dependable. Gets my eyes all moist thinking about the money we've put into it and how we could have bought a newer more dependable rig with less headache.
The upshot is we have learned a lot about MHs and have improved our do it ourselves skills. When we buy our next one we'll know so much more. So...considering we bought our first one when we were in our late twenties and just turned thirty, and we'll be working up to our dream luxury class MH for retirement, then it's been a valuable education for our future.
