I agree with Tom. I had a 02 Foretravel before my Newell and the Maintenance of each are about the same. But not every Newell one buys needs all this at once. My batteries were just one year old and my drive tires were 3 years old (needs new ones about every 5 or 6 years). My front tires about every 3 years, unless you have 365 and then every 5 years. So I bought only 4 tires. I change my oil every year. I guess what I am saying is that Newells are not really any more expensive to maintain than other MHs. All motor homes are expensive to maintain period. The more slides one has the more expensive. I agree with Tom, $10,000 for a set of tires and 8 batteries.
