... 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.
