Along with the engine/tranny there can be a lot of problems with older motor homes. Some you can live with, some not so easily. I've got a 1990 Holiday Rambler and really like it. But it does require a lot of knowledge and maintenance to keep everything going. If you can do it and like to do it, no big deal. If I would have paid for everything that's been done over the years it would probably cost more than I paid for the motor home.
I guess you pay one way or the other, but sometimes problems can be real trip killers.
Understood. This is where I am with the Dolphin. I've paid to have a few things done, but only out of either lack of time or lack of desire to actually tackle the project. I just had the roof replaced and as much as I'd like to say I think I could have done it myself, that's a lot of work. I've repaired the generator, fixed some plumbing leaks, tracked down some wiring issues, installed a new converter/inverter, replaced the TV, installed surround sound, fixed the Kwikee steps (Taurus window motor turns out) sourced wiper parts, roof vents... the list is endless. But it's fun. I do enjoy doing those kinds of things and I think that's why the older coaches appeal to me.
That and I'm cheap. I've accepted that fact now. :)
