With my relatively short experience with RVs being 2 older TCs over the last 5 years, I'm actually encouraged at the lack of issues in general. The couple real issues I've had were either self inflicted or moreso a product of aged components.
To put in perspective though, I repair 95% of everything I own myself and have a good deal of experience in mechanics and construction so a BiG issue to someone else may not seem so to me.
