Thanks Richard.
My wife and I have been part time coaching for just over 5 years as coach owners but had prior experience with loaned coaches. I am self employed in the automotive business, automotive repair, tires, maintenance, and petroleum products. My wife is retired and anxiously awaiting the day we can become full timers. Our sons are running our businesses with my help and doing a good job. I still have 2-3 more years in my public life as a school board member and have too much energy to slow down just yet.
I am very comfortable performing most repairs on my coach such as radiator (done in country coach), seal repairs, and pretty much anything except major diesel repairs. I’m not afraid to delve into most anything that comes up except electrical issues.
I love to tinker and could say that I have developed an intimate knowledge of our current coach. It did take some time to get there and maybe part of my interest in obtaining as much information prior to buying another coach. Our current coach has been great but the wife and I are looking for additional amenities and upgrades which both Newell and Prevost offer. We fully understand and have had no problem with the annual costs associated with the upkeep, repairs, and maintenance and are concerned about greatly increasing those costs.
I have found in RV’ing that most people are more then willing to lend a helping hand an/or give advice, no disappointment here, thanks for everyone’s comments, they are very helpful and I am thankful I signed up.
