My observation and experience is that all RV's are going to give you problems. In addition, just from observations around the RV park this last year, the more complex and expensive the RV, the more problems you are going to have. A couple in the park just bought a $700,000 MH and it has spent more time in the shop than they have lived in it in the last 6 months. It is currently in Tampa with the entire roof off trying to fix a leak. The same for at least 3 new high end 5'th wheels at the park. Constant problems and ongoing inconveniences.
For my little trailer, I have had a few plumbing problems, but was able to fix them without calling RV repair people. Sometimes simpler is better.
While I agree complexity can lead to more repair issues. I have found that the owners ability and their understanding of the various system is more of a factor. As the complexity grows the owners knowledge and ability to operate and understand the systems needs to expand.
Many people simply do not understand how their RV operates.
Operator error and a simple lack of understanding is the root cause of a lot of problems vs. complexity.
