I have to agree w/ Jim.  I've put 42,000 miles on a 84 Westy I bought 3
years ago, & have only replaced the water pump, starter(at same time),
muffler,rear hatch struts, plug wires, oil, & coolant. It was a low mileage,
very nice westy, that I paid good $$$ for, but it has been very
economical/minimal maintenance to keep on the road.

But of course I don't have power windows or steering or AC! Wish I did.
