Started out and in my 10 month. Spent 22K trying to stay ahead of the curve, fixing everything that came up and then some. Bought used 2014 Volvo 670 with 520K has 630K so far this year. Fixed oil leaks, emission issues, new tires, and anything else that came up. Bam out of no where, engine needed to be rebuilt. 30K later I am back at it. Be warned this is not for the faint hearted. Thankfully I am a very strong minded person. I am ready for winter...lol
First year has been Hell!

Hearing your story is why I decided to buy a new rig when I started last year. Yes it cost me a ton of money, but I don't have any surprises that aren't covered under warranty.
