I created this blog to share my experiences and show my observations and my thoughts to go with it all.  Some of it is just pure obvious like “duh!”.  Well this is probably one of those “duh!” moments, you and I both know that you and I already know! (ha!).

I bought a new to me used 5th wheel a few months ago, as with buying used there is a certain amount of “baggage” that has to be handled while that may be so some baggage is far from ordinary and is not worth ANYONE’s time unless you don’t exist within time?  I do not have a problem working out some of the issues that may come along with a used product such as a Recreational Vehicle, car, truck, computer, etc. Unless the ad states outright major work is needed then you knowingly know that you are in for something out of the ordinary.

As to whether someone might use all or some of the RV’s features is understandable but that does not mean that if you do not use it then you are free to let it rot! Or that you don’t care and can just throw in a fuel tank of any kind without proper filling pipe and can just run off any direction you want to go! Or how about letting your axles wear down to the point they cannot be re-aligned? I have two assumptions to make: either you are VERY stupid to do this OR you are just ignorant!  Oh I already knew I would have to work on some things, I did not mind that since it was a USED item; If it were NEW then I’d be pooping cows!

What is so HARD about preventative maintenance? Gosh it only takes an hour or so to wash the entire RV every 6 months (or as needed if you are traveling with it) by doing this you end a lot of later “lazy” maintenance cleanup from being LAZY! (or did you just not know???).  I am not suggesting if you do your regular maintenance that you’ll get better money, but it will cost you LESS in the long run and when you sell something that has been maintained well it sure will command higher dollars! Well I for one plan to continue to learn and do better maintenance to the best of my abilities even if it does not increase serviceable life of the item; again just because you don’t know a thing about how to keep up something does not mean you should just go out and do it all wrong. Why? Because it is just as bad or worse than not maintaining it at all!

I would love to buy new, I could start making owning the damn thing a lot easier! I don’t want/need more complicated ways to have to keep it held with duck tape! Buying new is just another topic just for a carefree day! Because I could rather go on a Maintenance Free Life!
