Well I just joined the club... I have driven my motorhome over 100,000 miles. Our Motor home had 23 miles on it when we took delivery July 25, 2003.
We journeyed to the Spartan Factory and had them do their major inspection, and do all the service of all fluids, and filters... Plus fix whatever they found... I left their feeling like I had a new chassis under me. The experience was not cheap but I was pleased with the value... To qualify this I either do the service or have it done in our shop.
Service at the Spartan factory is an experience that I intend to repeat...

You know what that means when you pass 100,000 miles, you will be looking for another new one.

Last trip (Texas, NM and AZ), averaged 11.4 MPG, up from life-time average of 11.3.
I am at ~87,000. We are leaving on a 4500 mile summer "get away from the heat" trip at the end of the month.
Prolly hit 100K in 2014 if the health gods play along.
