Even though I suspect what happen to moingtara is not the "norm", it probably does happen too often.


We also sold our home several years ago, did tons of research, purchased our first RV, and set out to see the country full time. My 1-ton diesel truck was purchased new a year before the big adventure. However, after much research there was no way we were going to purchase a new 5th wheel. We wanted a 2 or 3 year old 38' to 40' that had all the bugs worked out. We found one and it was repair free for us. Even after trading it in for a new fiver there were no nightmares. I always do regular preventive maintenance, like checking lug nuts, torque suspension bolts, grease bearings, inspect water fittings, lubricate everything.......on and on. In 3 years of full time travel we never had to leave an RV at a dealership overnight.


There are tons of RVers out there that enjoy worry free camping. I'm not sure there are enough folks out there upset enough to start a "movement" or start demonstrating in front of Thor's corporate HQ.
