That is some great information. You sometimes hear about someone stranded out in never-never land for long periods of time. Its nice to know it doesn't necessarily have to be that way!
Another thing that hit me like a lightening bolt is when it was said "Going forwards we are allowing $200 per month in our budget to top up the RV maintenance fund, with a base lump sum put in it of $10,000 to start with." Well of course!
I was treating it like my coach breaks down and its disaster time! I forgot there's money in the bank to use for this kind of thing, well duh. I didn't realize it but I am an idiot! You'd think a grown man could have figured that out for himself.
I also know that I take very good care of my vehicles and they have rewarded me because of it. I have no doubt a motorhome is much the same. Take care of your engine and drivetrain and it will take care of you. More can go wrong with a motorhome than an SUV but good maintenance is always rewarded. So I apologize to one an all for my craziness and will do my best to be better! :)
