My elderly Barth has served me more cheaply than a much newer motor home. Yes, it was more work, but I knew that going in. Same for older houses, airplanes, boats, etc.

And, if owning a Barth is considered a hobby, it is about as profitable as other hobbies.

As I write the check for tires and mitre box and other items I always think, "A new one of these would cost north of $400,000". Fixing the Breakaway is worth every cent And cheap at the price!
I might just get Coach Works to give me an estimate on some improvement.
