It gets better as you go along. We would not trade our 22 ft 1990 model for anything. Luckily, when I bought it 2 1/2 years ago all the main components were operating and in really nice shape. We have done a lot so as to get it where we like it. Once you get into it things get easier. Just a LITTLE COMMON SENSE AND A LOT OF ADVISE from all the owners on this website. And I bought a lot of stuff for it on Amazon. Most of the stuff is similar to working on things around the house.
Good luck and enjoy once you get on the road.
