Annual Maintenance / Repair Cost

[Dave Mayo]

In reading these type forums one would get the impression that a
motorhome is constantly broken and being repaired. That is the nature
of this type forum to discuss mechanical issues.

I'm interested in getting an idea of the ballpark annual cost for non-
routine repair for a mid 1990's Wanderlodge. I am also interested in
a ballpark cost of annual routine maintenance.

In planning a budget should one plan on $3,000 per year; $5,000 per
year; $10,000 or more.

Outside of the cost of purchase, depreciation, etc. how rich does
one's blood need to be to afford the maintenance on a Bluebird.
I understand that this will vary based upon the age of the coach and
its condition. I'm just doing research to understand what is required
to be able to own and maintain a Bluebird.

Also, would the maintenance and repair cost between a Bluebird and a
Prevost be similar or would one expect the Prevost to be higher.

I appreciate your input as your knowledge is great.

Thanks.

Dave
