It use to be mostly mechanical, but now it also requires extensive electrical knowledge.
The question I keep asking myself is how long will manufacturers keep designing and building motorhomes that are too complex for the “average” American to maintain and/or fix themselves? Not only are motorhomes becoming more involved, but in my opinion the average American is not as interested or as capable of fixing things themselves. I know a lot of young people in particular who don’t own tools, have never changed oil in a car, do not understand basic electricity, etc.
Internet searches may help some, but I suspect in time there will be little desire and or tolerance for things that require a lot of maintenance and or repairs. Even when owners have the required aptitude, they seem more interested in fun activities. And I can’t blame them, because I don’t “enjoy” fixing things either, even when I can.
