When I bought my MH 10 years ago and had some worries not owning or driving any thing this big before. It took me 2 years to get it running good enough to go to Alaska. If you do a search under my name you will see I have had my share of problems but folks on here have been very helpful to resolve the problems. The MH is 18 years old and has 99,000 miles on it 76k by me. Every time I go out something else breaks, need repair or something. Most of the stuff I have been able to fix myself. I think the more trips you make the more comfortable you will feel. Some would call it a learning curve.
