The maintenance costs of a MH will be greater than a 5er, on average. How much greater depends on age and condition of MH, toad, 5er and truck
Not necessarily true. I would think that for the most part that they will be close to the same comparing diesel to diesel and gasser to gasser. As if you are talking about a fiver, you gotta include the truck. Maintenance will be about the same intervals Main issue in higher costs for mh would be having to get it done at an rv shop. Class c, with an e450 v10 can be done by any mechanic basically. Or at least a dealership.
I would put a higher priority on the mobility factor. Think about how many times you would go to the bedroom/bathroom each day. In a 5er that's 6 steps each trip. In a MH, none. Having two bad knees, I can relate to this all too well.
That's another good point.
