It is 20 years old and a piece of machinery so that means it depreciates in value. From that perspective the value may be OK. You need an appraiser to provide a quick opinion. <br />

Any motor, transmission, differential, steering gear and other such mechanical stuff if not already replace becomes a candidate for replacement. That is what the owner may be thinking.

In my own 2004 Volvo sedan, 4 shock absorbers and some suspension part was about $1,200. One or two times ago I changed from Winter to Summer tires, balancing, 4-wheel alignment, brakes all around and then the call &quot;you need shock absorbers&quot;. Well over 100,000 miles and I knew it was time, but the final bill was pricey. That was 18 months ago and the car continues to work well, run fine and is rust-free. I was worth it to me. I still have the car.

Labour normally runs $100 / hour plus or minus and I would say Yes. The skills are similar.

Does the parts run the same rate like cars? I am just scared what happen if it needs steering work or shocks. Cars can be fixed in couple of 100 dollars but its a huge big thing is.

<div>
You would have to ask. A quality inspection is an hour or a bit more, so say $100.

Does the motor home have a Petrol (Gas) or Diesel engine?<br />
In general a diesel engine will last for many, many more miles before dying on you than a petrol engine.<br />
90,000 miles on a diesel engine is minimal if it has been regularly serviced, but after you get above 150,000 miles on a petrol engine it could start costing you lots of money or even a replacement engine.

In addition to ignition, power and monitoring gauges and lights, today's motor vehicles feature computerized engines, transmissions and braking systems, electronic mapping systems, Bluetooth and Internet connectivity, sensors that detect other vehicles, motorized seats, and digital audio and video systems; several manufacturers are producing electric and hybrid automobiles and self-driving cars.

A miscellany is defined as a "collection of various pieces of writing by different authors", but it has come to mean something "Of items gathered or considered together of various types or from different sources" or "a collection or group composed of members or elements of different kinds". The word "miscellaneous" comes from the Latin word "miscere", meaning "to mix." You might have heard the expression "a mixed bag," which applies when you don't quite know what you're going to get. More commonly, a miscellaneous group is made up of an odd group of things that don't fit anywhere else.

Miscellaneous

Hardware includes cell phones and other digital living devices, tablets, computers, servers, peripherals and components, printers and scanners, gaming consoles, networking hardware such as routers, hubs, switches and modems, storage devices and security equipment such as firewalls and other appliances.
