Maybe so...but consider what it'd cost to buy and maintain a full-sized RV. Just something to think about. I still contend that the issue isn't so much bad design as age, and the fact that many of our vans were driven for years with no maintenance, or minimal maintenance, before we got them. I've had the sense that I'm mostly working through a backlog of old problems, on mine. Truely new problems don't seem to crop up much, just old ones I hadn't recognized yet or haven't gotten around to fixing.
