This was my first RV. It has been reliable and giving. had it for almost 3 years. Broke lots of little things on it along the way as part of the learning process. The only repairs for what I didn't misuse was replace the battery and replace the water heater switch. It was very squeeky and rattly as I now have a new 2007 Chateau Sport to compare too. Even so it was a great rig for the price. I drove it 3500 miles per year, mostly solo to horse shows. if this is legal, I have a full history of all this RVs experiences on my website: www.rvstuffnthingz.com. All maintenance, repairs and trips are there for folks to review.
