I agree, even though I am not able to do a lot of things that I would have done i years past. Just not physically able anymore. The problem is that many of our new RV'rs have no idea how anything works, nor can they even conceive of doing any kind of repair themselvs. Many are mentally unable to do anything more than plug in a power cord, and that is pushing the limits. And before anyone jumps, by mentally I do not mean handicapped, only they have never had to do anything for themselves, and have very little common sense. This seems to be much more common these days, and as we age, the young are not getting much smarter. I could go on about this a lot more, but it seems to be of no use.
My grandfather was not mechanically inclined. He was extremely smart, but electrical, plumbing, etc., was done by my grandmother or professionals. My father, on the other hand, was very mechanically inclined and could fix most anything, but he did not have the business skills that my grandfather had.
