Jack,
The answer to your first question is no. My opinion is that the coach that has been maintained will have a lower cost of ownership than a neglected coach. Therefore the key in controlling your cost of ownership is to buy a coach that has received proper maintenance.

I can only answer question two with my experience. I owned a Country Coach for 8 yrs & drove it 120,000 miles. I have owned my Newell for 5 yrs & driven it 60,000 miles. I have not noticed an increase in cost between the two except tires & batteries. More & bigger tires. More batteries.

Concentrate on finding a well maintained coach, no matter the brand, and your cost of ownership will be lower.

Now let's talk about what is the highest part of cost of ownership. It is NOT parts & labor-----it is depreciation!
