Regular maintenance like oil changes, tires, brakes should be easy to put a number to just like any motor vehicle. Unexpected repairs are kind of impossible to predict. Buying a bumper to bumper extended warranty would be a way limit out of pocket costs to your deductible.
I realize this is not what you wanted, but without an extended warranty, one year I needed a new transmission on my Holiday Rambler 454, warranty paid about $4k, my basement a/c went out and warranty paid about $2k for the repair. This summer my jacks failed damaging the hydraulic system, warranty paid about $2k. I replace my tires every six years regardless of condition, cost last summer for 6x22.5 tires about $3k. How do you budget for this type of stuff?
