To buy or not to buy?
I have an 82 FC, and yes, there is a lot of maintenance and plenty of
things that can break. But that is true of any motorhome, and BB's are MUCH more reliable than the rest. Has mine required a good bit of work and cash? Yes. Do I regret it? Not for a moment. It almost sounds like you need to decide 100% that you want to do the motorhome "thing" at all first...but if you are sure that you do, my opinion is that a BB is the way to go. I had two motorhomes before my BB, and have many friends with various other coaches that I have been exposed to, and I will NEVER own anything but a BB from here on out.
