Well I am going on eleven years and shop repairs have only been once, and that was for a Huie fuel pump, other then that it has been the perfect coach. I hope it lasts me another ten years. I have done myself preventive repairs. Like applying Eternabond, and washing the CAC once a year, I do all the maintenance on the coach.
It is sad to read of other RVers that are having so many problems and the length it is taking to correct them by the manufacturers
But it does happen with all manufactures, so it does not surprise me at all.
