Exactly. A rv'er do it yourself'er should focus more on house repairs than drive train. I drove 45K miles and other than routine oil, filter type items found no need to get into the engine.
Do a search on RV for sale and you can view the front ends. Sprinters have MB on the label, add $$$ to repairs and limited access to mechanics.
The Ford V-10 is a reliable engine, as friends that have driven 300K plus miles on their V-10's one recommendation comes up frequently, ignition coils.
Buy some extras and carry them with you.
As mentioned, brush up on your electrical and plumbing skills.
My vehicles get meticulous maintenance using the best oils and filters. each trip I have a list of items that need attention before next trip, it's almost always house related. Did have a leaky washer fluid tank once.
