Would be real easy for someone to spend $1000s on repairs, especially if they're not able or capable of being a shadetree mechanic. Heck, just new brakes (1 of the long list of items) all around for someone taking it to a shop, is an easy 4 figure bill.
Thousands...
Possible...yes.
Likely....no.
You hear stories of people buying new units and getting stuck with thousands in bills.
If it really worries you, pay a mechanic to go over the drivetrain.
Has nothing to do with people getting "stuck" with repairs on new RVs. The RV portion usually has a year warranty, so stands to reason anything needed after a year is $ out of pocket. But the chassis has a factory warranty.
If you cannot recognize the additional maint and repair that a vehicle needs between 100k and 200k compared to 0-100k, and the additional expense of having everything done at a shop, then I wouldn't expect you to agree with me.
Correct and based on experience, I don't agree with you.
Your theory made sense back in the 50-60's when 100k was all you could expect out of a drivetrain before it was shot. Modern drivetrains, no reason to expect huge costs buying around 100k miles unless there are signs of problems ahead of time.
