Then we would pick it up and go on our trip and make arrangements for the next session. So things are not always as bad as some people would have you think.

You are in very fortunate and best situation. The company that I have rented RV's from in the past is a Thor dealer for Service, but not sales. He knows I am looking to buy and have tried to get me to buy some of his used RVs. I kind of like and want to do some repairs; that is why I wish to keep my RV at my house. But no matter how much money I may have, I don't like having to throw money at a problem that should not exist.

But I agree " things are not always as bad as some people would have you think" If I didn't believe that, I have run as fast as I could & not be on this forum interested to buy and RV.

About 10 years ago I researched and researched pressure washers for a boat. I decided on a Husky from Home Depot, started reading the reviews on Home Depot's site and 80% of customers trashed the product, it had a very low rating some claiming it didn't work out the box, leaking after 1st use, or simply no pressure at all etc. But because the price was so good, I called Home Depot Customer Service to find out how, why they could be selling a product that was rated so bad? They said the stood behind their product and reminded me it had 2 year warranty for free replacement no questions asked. I bought it and 10 years later I still have that pressure washer. I did buy a new one, but only because I wanted the new colored nozzle system to change the angles on the fly. I use the Husky for heavy duty work.
