A major advantage to travel trailers is that the average handy guy can make his own repairs .
motorhomes have more systems that make them more confusing when diagnosing a problem .
after 5 years of owning your TT you will know every crook and cranny of your TT and how to make the repairs .
spend 5 % of the money to get a good set of tools onboard and some hardware and replacement parts .
odds are high that a critical failure will occur while you are 20 miles down a country road far from the city .
the closest repairman is the owner and he does not charge travel time .
