Annual Maintenance / Repair Cost
The first year I owned my coach I spent nearly $10,000. Realizing
that I would have to get a job to keep paying to have this coach
repaired I committed to doing as much maintenance as I could do
myself. In the following 4 years my maintenance and upgrades (ie:
changing TV) costs have varied from $1600/year to $4000/year. I would
guess the average is $3000/year. Because I do a lot of your own
maintenance. I would double that number if I took my bus to a shop to
have a lot of the items repaired.

It probably is wiser for me to consider a long term average of $4000
per year because I will have to change tires every 5/7 years, one day
I will do something dumb and it will require some heavy duty engine or
transmission work. Plus eventually I will have to replace my reefer,
couches and chairs.

Good luck,
