Purchased 2014 Windsport 34F in Feb 17. We have put 4000 miles on RV and been several fun places. We have not experienced any problems, but seems like I am doing preventive maintenance all the time. But, I enjoy doing the PM. I learn from this forum and Youtube, what and how to do the PM. Yesterday I changed the engine oil/filter and the generator oil/filer.

Now, my dear friends purchased a New 2018 29.3 in May. It has been in the shop, had to replace the refrigerator. My friends don't really do there own PM. This will mean that their RV will be in the shop for long periods and this will cause them some frustration.

Oh, did I mention that my 2014 RV had 60,000 miles on it when I purchased it. The previous owners kept the RV in great shape. New batteries and tires in 2016 and several other things have been changed.

Hopefully, my RV has went through the break-in period.

I believe that my dear friends expected a RV purchase to be like a new car purchase, where you drive it for the first 5 years before anything goes wrong. Also, if something does go wrong during the warranty period everybody stops what they are doing in the shop and fixes the problem immediately. My friends are fully retired now and I hope I can get them to start working on their RV.
