Is there a list of ballpark MH repair/replacement costs? I've been poking around and can find figures here and there but not a list and thought I'd ask if anyone has one or knows where one is?
such as:
Tires $2000 -$3500
Generator replacement $ - $
Air Con Unit replacement $ - $
Transmission Overhaul $ - $
Etc.
Thanks
of the list you posted estimating tire replacement is the easiest. make a few calls and compare pricing. and you want an out-the-door price...mounted, balanced, new valves, etc. figure on replacing your tires no later than every 7-years (some folks will say 5-7 and others will say they've been driving on 20-yr old tires). the point is you can easily budget for tire replacement.
what we do is set aside $X every month for RV maintenance and repair and an additional $X each month for tire replacement. all of the maintenance and repairs on our current MH have been paid for from this fund. same when I replaced all 6 tires 7-years ago.
