Any repairs, of which have been minimal, I've been able to do myself. The lack of a TM dealer in my area, as wbmiller knows, is not an issue. I have access to a large conventional RV dealer with parts dept and I can order the majority of what I need. The TM electrical, gas and water components are all RV standard. As others have replied, the lifting mechanism is TM specific but can be serviced by a competent DIY'er. I have found with the 2 units I've owned in the last 15 years, they are rather problem free if you can offer a regular maintence schedule for things that move, lift, drain.

I would suggest that prior to your purchase, you locate a conventional dealer near you with service dept and ask if they are familiar with a TM? Create a relationship first and know there is backup to help you if you cannot help yourself.
