Ha! If you think owning & using an RV has its problems & is expensive, get a BOAT. A cruising boat is far more complex than even the fanciest class A.
As suggested get familiar with what you are getting into. Learn 12V & 120V basics. Understand something about plumbing. Learn what to look for to catch running gear problems early. Your tires really do talk to you & let you know when all is not right.
Most problems are simple fixes. Running to a dealer only to find out that a fuse blew or something such as simple gets expensive fast. The dealers & RV repair places love credit card RVers.
Get the wife involved. Mine knows mostly which tools are what & has no problem getting hands dirty when that bit of extra help is needed to get something done whether it be rotating wheels or changing a black tank valve.
