After I bought a new 29' Monaco Montclaire, it spent more time in the shop than we ever spent using it. And that is just the couch. we now have about 30K miles on it. Now for the chassis. We had to have the engine pulled because we were using too much oil. There was a technical service bulletin out on this, so we had to go through a series of "oil consumption" test. This meant we had to stop at a ford dealer every 3K miles to have the oil level checked and documented. That did not seem to be too difficult other than only a Ford Truck dealer would touch it-that made it a *****. Finally finished that and new valve guides were installed.. THEN, the transmission blew. Two major issues while on the road--no fun. I know I was a chevy guy for a reason. Yes, I know some C's are on a GM chassis.
