How to Avoid the Top Financial Mistakes made by RV Owners

Simply put: the cost of RV repairs is on the rise. On average, RV Repairs will cost $100 or more per hour for labor alone. The cost of parts will generally run double the cost of labor, or $200 per hour. This means that the total cost of an average RV Repair is $300 per hour and rising. 

While some RVers do consider the cost of repairs when budgeting for their RV lifestyle, many are unaware of just how many mechanical components exist in their RV. Costly failures that many RVers recognize are blown engines and transmission components–items that run $10,000 – $30,000 in average repair costs. But these aren’t the only items worth taking a look at. Many of the most common RV failures are found in appliances, leveling systems, or air conditioning units. These everyday items fail often, and are expensive to repair or replace. Just take a look at the image to the right, which features the average costs of the most common RV failures reported to RV Warranty claim professionals.
