... and has been fatal, to a member of this forum if I recall correctly.

Chris, the bird is as easy to maintain as anything else. I'm a
decently average backyard mechanic and maintain most of my own coach
systems. If you can do basic repairs around the home and know how to
use a voltmeter (basic electrical know-how), that accounts for most of
your maintenance.

Mechanically, it's a big bus, plenty of room to work on things. I am
not a big rig mechanic and don't fully understand that part of my
coach yet - this is my first diesel - but I'm learning. I've done some
basic repairs to my generator (see
http://www.ryanwright.com/wanderlodge/sliprings/) and it was
relatively easy. I change my own oil, filters, etc, but I'd be lost if
I had to deal with something like a non-starting engine. Some day I'll
unfortunately have the privilege of learning that, I'm sure.
