I'm certainly not bored with this ongoing conversation. ;)
WOW! You seem to have done all the right things to improve reliability and performance. And yeah, parts on a 42 year old vehicle can break. A starter is not too bad for all those years. I have a friend in Vegas that get's older stuff like that rebuilt at a commercial electric motor rebuilder. He seems to have better luck with that than stuff that's outsourced out of country.
I'm especially impressed that you had a Holley Sniper F.I. system installed.

So yes, an older motorhome can be completely viable if you're willing to do the maintenance and upgrades.
