The reality is that all of these coaches, particularly the high-end ones such as Newell, are complex machines with lots of systems that have to be properly integrated in order for the coach to perform as desired.
As a result, all of these vehicles require a higher level of maintenance than would a regular car or truck. It's more like keeping on top of an airplane in some ways than it is an automobile. And, the more complexities (slide-outs, multiple A/C units, generator, enhanced plumbing, communications devices, etc), the more time and money one will spend on maintaining all of it.
I've known people,unfamiliar with RVs, who buy one and then are disappointed that a lot of knowledge and work is required to keep the ship sailing. Always best to really know what's going to be required before taking the plunge.
