In my experience, general/preventive maintenance is always preferable to waiting for failures. Keep in mind that an RV has both the components of a vehicle and many of the appliances of a home. Some of the RV appliances like the propane refrigerators are specialized equipment and may not last as long as those used in residential applications. I have heard an RV described as an earthquake on wheels. It is amazing how well most standup to all the shaking, rattling and rolling, but things do wear out or break, and some are built better than others. How many repairs will be required is anybody's guess and will depend on the age, previous maintenance and quality of the RV. Since you are new to RVing, you may find the materials from the RV consumers Group helpful in assessing the various brands and learning what to look for in a potential purchase.
Good Luck with whatever you decide to do.
