I purchased my 1998 31' Itasca MH over a 1999 Ford F53 V-10 in February 2005. It has 102,947 miles on it of which I've driven 49,824 miles. Both I and the previous owner maintained proper service. The only major maintenance it has had is a broken transmission linkage and now needs to have the engine power cooling fan fixed. My mechanic says that it is in very good condition and should not expect any other major problems.
I did purchase a 3 year extended repair contract when I bought the unit because of its age & I was new to MH ownership. The contract did pay for the transmission linkage repair but the contract cost me a lot more the than the repair cost them so I didn't renew it and am glad I didn't.
