Owning and using any RV is a time and money consuming hobby whether you DIY or take your RV to a competent RV service often and pay them to maintain your house battery/charging system and fix/replace any plumbing/electrical/etc. problem that comes up.

Well said.
Even with the quality control and effort the Boeing puts into an airplane. There is a lot of work and time spent maintaining the aircraft once it is put into service
