Real-life maintenance costs on a small B+
Just looking for some info from those who have done it. Possibly next year I'm going to seriously start looking for a B+ in the 21-24', 10-15 yr old, 30K-60K miles, & $20-$30K range. From what I'v...

LOL I think you are right about staying under 5K miles/year.
I would probably do one longer trip maybe 2K miles in the southeast... then shorter ones. Glacier is on my agenda which will be about 5K miles, been there once before. Also planning an Arizona winter trip, plus maybe a Utah spring trip.
Lots to do and see in this great country, for sure!
The way I handle vehicle and home maintenance expenses is to have what I call sinking funds. Set aside $$$ every month and use as needed, on top of a starting amount. And there is an emergency fund if the sinking fund is not adequate. I'll have a separate vacation budget to cover fuel, RV sites, etc.
So for the chassis repairs where you did DIY I would need to add some labor, probably a few hundred $$ each time.
Just trying to get a ball park idea.
