smlranger and DutchmenSport put it really well. Buying a MH, you need to be conscious of what could to wrong and probably will go wrong (it's a house going through an earthquake on every trip!). And you've got to have the ability and funds to stay on top of it or the stress will eat you up and you won't be able to enjoy RVing.
We are on our first MH after 10 years of TTs and 5ers, and have each time (generally speaking) sought a higher quality level each time. 10 years teaches you quite a bit about good and not-so-good construction. This last time around I decided I'd had enough of some of the brands and went for what I believed was better based on my research. Nothing against anyone with a different coach! We all know (as previously mentioned) that every brand has their ups and downs.
But I am under no illusion that this coach will be perfect. My approach is to "stress" about keeping it well maintained when we're not using it - planning maintenance days into the calendar and keeping a list of to-dos. That way when we get out on vacation, it's really a vacation. But if something does go wrong, I have the confidence that I am very familiar with what I own and have the ability to fix most things myself.
I wouldn't own an RV if I didn't have some DIY skills.
So to answer the original question, yes I'm generally satisfied, as it's worth all the effort to be able to travel like we want to.
