...similar to the acronym B.O.A.T. for watercraft owners. You learn quickly that maintenance and repairs will have you in the "Break Out Another Thousand" club on a regular basis. Fortunately for RV owners, it's not as frequent.

I have a boat and a 5er. Have had both for years. More upgrades, more repairs, more everything on the 5ers.
