> 1. Are they easy to drive?--for a vehicle this size, if all components are
working
correctly, I think yes. I like the fact that they have a relatively short
wheelbase which
makes them a little easier to handle on narrow city streets, which is where I
live.

> 2. Are they usually trouble free?--No. They are a mechanical device. They
need
preventive maintenance and regular upkeep. They are mechanically as trouble
free as
other motorhomes I have owned and from a structural standpoint they are a
quantum leap
above many other designs.

> 3. Is maintenance costly?--If you pay someone to do it, it could be. If you
do it yourself,
not really.


> 4. Are the control panels easy to read and to understand?--I still have have
no idea what
my Digitell does but I don't have much interest in learning. Apart from that, I
can
understand oil pressure and water temperature along with air pressure.


> 5. What's a good preventive maintenance suggestion?--Grease, oil, change
fluids. Crawl
around underneath and look closely.

Be prepared, my wife does not like the fact that we get stares wherever we
drive.
