Annual Maintenance / Repair Cost

[Wallace Craig]

Dave, the annual cost is principally fuel, insurance and camping fees. Every 7-8 years a new set of tires will be needed, whether or not milage worn, they just give up after that period of time. Since maintenance problems do occur, I would probably set aside $1000 to 1500 ayear, however this is clearly a function of the conditionn of the coach on purchase. The short answer is; there is no real answer.

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.
