I'm surprised that the yearly maintenance hours and costs of a diesel pusher are higher than any airplane I've owned even though I do my own maintenance on both.

I'm very surprised my 2023 Newmar has required more repairs in the first 10 months than my 2016 KZ travel trailer did in the entire 7 years I owned and camped it.

That is like comparing a F-22A Raptor to a Cessna Skyhawk plane.

Oh! I thought he was comparing FAA requirements to "damn anunganung"

Well, isn't the 172 one of the longest private aviation aircraft in production? First produced in the 50's and still in production today.

Not fancy, true, but I think it's very capable, reliable, and safe. Most all of my family has worked for Cessna since my father hired in there in 1954. We have (had) a ton of manufacturing here in the Air Capital. Last I knew, the doors weren't falling off 172's.

I think you missed my point. How do you compare a motorhome to a bumper pull trailer? It like comparing a glider to prop plane.
