Philosophy: A motorhome is a van chassis attached to a big
box full of limited life appliances and electro-mechanical devices that depend on 12 volt DC, 120 volts and propane gas to operate. Ownng a motorhome is like owning a cabin cruiser boat or an airplane, not much like owning a minimum maintenance SUV or Toyota grocery getter. Owning and using a motorhome is a hobby, not a casual pastime toy. The older the rig, the more it becomes a hobby. The more you learn about the converter/charger, the house batteries,
plumbing, air conditioning, furnace, fresh water and holding tank,awning etc., etc. and what to do to maintain them the less you will be disappointed when on the road or camped in the great outdoors.
