How similar our RV's are...

Hi Ray,

We purchased ours for almost the same price, although yours had fewer miles. We got it in May 2017 with 26,000 miles.

What I realized after I got it was even though the tires looked...

Ray, I understand and glad you appreciate what I've said..

Congratulations on your new Pleasure Way

Brian, enjoy your new vehicle...I have heard many great things about PW....and they have a 5 year warranty...? I don't think you're going to have many problems...

Oh my....this is rather disturbing......

Let me be perfectly clear, I was shocked when I learned about the plastic in the tank.... I don't know for a fact that the original owners "grandchildren" might have thrown something down the...

If you know what you're doing ... do it yourself... go for it.

Yeah, there's lots of things I would never advise people to do themselves... brain surgery, being your own attorney, and YES, working on your RV is you DO NOT know what you're doing.

I know...

Different vehicle....

My pump alone was $225... plus the gate valves.

They found that there was "plastic" in the plumbing and had to remove all of this debris. Ugly, I know. Prior owners grandkids, we think...

Of course it's a TOY... I agree with you.

YES, RVs are toys... but, so what?

I've got a friend who's exactly my age... refused to retire .. could have easily done so five years ago.... said... "I have to work until I'm 70"... I don't...

Lennie, have a few questions for you..

You mentioned "rust", are you in Southern California? The only place where there's possible rust in Socal is near the ocean? Other Northern California locations near the ocean like the Bay Area...

It's certainly true that I saved money on the depreciation.

OK... the first thing you said about this that makes sense...I did save money vs. a new vehicle...

Yeah, maybe with all the things I did to bring this current, maybe costs will plateau...

I...

WOW... did you even read the repairs and maintenance I explained?

Avanti, no offense, but, I think you just glossed over what I reported...all the maintenance was done at a dealership or my independent mechanic for the services...oil changes, filters, glow plugs,...

Maybe it's true..I have about 12,000 reasons..or more

YES, you might be correct... For me it's a vehicle that we can have fun in touring...

Look, in the first 16 months of ownership this has cost me well over $12,000 ..... that's a lot of money in...

Even $1,000 per year would be a bargain.....

I don't know.. maybe it's because there were some neglected items hidden on my RV?

We did drive 15,000 miles the first year..but, here's some numbers...

OK, so, the broken sewer line was...

Repairs vs. maintenance... does it even matter???

When I first got my RV...I thought...OK... there's going to be a few repairs, it's a 2012 model that I purchased in 2017.... however, it's extremely low mileage and was in immaculate condition.........
