There's an interesting contrast on our drive:
1: Fiat-based motorhome, 1998, 79000 miles - no rust, no breakdowns, only service items required.
2: Mercedes E-Class estate, 1999, 80000 miles - rusting in several places, two broken springs, otherwise only service items required.
I suspect the truth is that there are good and bad models from every maker. My particular Merc (W210) is a known rust-bucket, the Ducato cab bodywork is in far better nick.
Can't help but feel sorry for everyone who invests so much money in a new motorhome only to face one problem after another.
