There is a lot of experience and absolute brilliance posted so far in this thread. I'm not being flip or sarcastic. When you commit to buying an RV you are buying a house, a car, a power plant, a sewage treatment plant, and all the related things that go with it all in one. (except the yard work!) I'm an Architect, a General Building Contractor, a Mechanical Engineer, a Machinist, and an Automotive Technician by trade. I've regularly needed ALL those skills to keep my current RV on the road at a reasonable cost. I feel sorry for those who aren't. Make this thread a sticky!
