I'm retiring in three years and was looking forward to purchasing a 5th wheeler to take on the road. Came here looking for advice, tips, etc. and all I see are problems, problems, problems. Systems that don't work, expensive repairs, units that do nothing but leak, poor customer service everywhere, and problems at RV parks. Wow, I'm just so discouraged now, I'm thinking I should totally abandon this idea and start looking for something else. I don't mind educating myself on minor maintenance and repair but I'm looking for a positive fulfilling traveling experience, not a job in Resolving Nothing But Problems.
Been doing this for 30+ years. Had ONE (1) flat tire. Had 2 sink pipe leaks, and replaced one kitchen faucet that froze because of my error.
Bottom line. Take care of your camper, do the maintenance required. And it will last, and last. Will it ever leak? Not likely, but then. Has your house ever leaked? I bet it has. Is this for every opne? no, Just those that enjoy the freedom of going where ever you want, and staying in your own place, around great people.
