we have had the same travel trailer for 11 years .
we have not had to replace the water heater , refrigerator , furnace , converter , alarm systems or other major items .
the most difficult repair that i have done is replumbing the water pump .
the pump is in the front storage compartment and shared space with the various tools , blocks , handles , and so forth .
the insertion and removal of these tools broke the plastic fittings that came on the pump .
i repaired it myself in a california campground without moving the traier.
i got metal fittings and hose from the lowes store .
that was 7 years ago . i am now very careful around the pump.
a major thing i like about the travel trailer is that the systems are independent and simple enough to repair myself .
the interconnecting of electrics in our previous motorhome made troubleshooting a little more confusing .
i purposely flush and winterize , do upgrades , and maintenance myself .
we boondock . I don't need no emergency technician 10 miles down a gravel road .
He Is Already There !
