When I bought my 2015 Winnebago Class C motorhome new in 2015, I paid for it outright without the need of a mortgage. Without a mortgage, my annual costs are for insurance and rare minor repairs and maintenance.
I have had only minimal repair costs associated with it since I bought it. I had to replace a roof vent and door lock assembly. Those repairs/replacements didn't break the bank as I used a mobile RV repairer. I also had the awning fabric replaced as the old one was starting to tear.
I have regular maintenance performed to keep it in top running shape such as oil changes. It has been the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned.
RV Travel posted an article that should interest those who are thinking about buying a used RV. The article (with video) breaks down the annual repair and repair costs by one owner.
The article begins with:
Owning an RV is a dream for many who love the open road, freedom, and adventure. But when it comes to buying an older RV, the big question is: Is it a cost-effective decision or a financial nightmare? In the video directly below, Deb Bruening from Deb’s RV Services shares her experience of owning a 2000 Lazy Daze Class C motorhome and breaks down the real costs of repairs and maintenance over the years. If you’re considering buying an older RV or simply curious about the expenses, you would benefit from watching the video or reading the written version of it below that.
