But if you bought a new coach, you'd lost more than that the day you drove off the lot! And probably that much again in interest that first year, if you had to finance a new one.

And... while the chassis have improved, I think coach construction quality and mechanical durability has down in the last 15 years.

Your right Bryan,case in point my friend has bought 3 MH's in the last 16 years, his depreciation loss alone would pay for a new MH, not to mention the multiple trips back to the dealer to fix warranty items and the loss of a camping season. I don't think $1000-$1500 a year is bad for total cost of maintenance, improvements and repairs for a Class A or C. I just think it would be much less with a truck and small trailer combo.
