winder1 - yep with cost of fuel going down - lots of folks are moving to RVs. There are alternatives to being your own handyman but most aren't very good. Most involve finding a reputable dealer that can do the work. We have been fortunate to have a great service department but it is 180 miles from our fixed home. When we are in our wheeled home the first line of defense is me. When I am traveling 1000 miles averaging 55-60 mph, stuff simple comes loose. I carry a fairly good toolkit that has evolved as we've traveled.

So when something needs fixing I can wait for the service department to do the work for me or I can do myself - now.

We've had friends that enjoy our traveling style but they have seen this necessary handyman act and decided it simply is for them.
