Repair costs and frequency frustration
We like our 15 year old 30 ft. Class C we've had for 7 years. Reliability has always been up and down. We had a pretty good couple of years of repair costs we could live with but now we're discourage...

Don't beat yourself up on this repair.
I have an older RV. Yes I've had my repairs along the way.
BUT my theory is dishing out a couple of hundred dollars now and then or even a 1,000+ repair a couple of times over the course of many years?
It's a "one time" payment per incident.
Replace it with a new or newer RV?
Now you've got guaranteed big payments each and every month for years and years AND the repair bills will still happen along the way.
Nope I take my lumps on occasional repairs. I am still waay ahead of those that have to make rv payments each and every month AND pay for repairs. :C
I am so happy with my RV. I hear complaint after complaint about the new ones. Priced high and lower quality and handling seems to suck on all the new ones.
When and if my V10 ever blows up I will just buy another engine and keep on RV'ing with her! She has served me that well.
P.S. I hope you are NOT getting these estimates from an RV dealer service dept.
They charge 4 to 5 times MORE what it takes to repair an RV compared to a regular local repair shop, chevy or ford 'truck' dealership repair shop and/or your local RV mobile repair.
My RV has NEVER seen the inside of an RV dealership repair shop.
