Such as the rooftop A/C's, Inverter/Converter, refrigerator, electrical, generator, engine, etc. Those are some pretty expensive repairs or replacements.

This is so true. Our 2006 Country Coach Intrigue had NOT been lived in full time, and instead had experienced lot rot to the point that Oregon Motor Coach (OMC) has basically rebuilt it! From extensive water leaks that were never caught as it rotted on a lot to transmission and U joints that were never adequately serviced, there were a lot of challenges to this beautiful "like new" coach. It depends on the coach and how it was maintained rather than whether it was full-timed or not. Particularly with a diesel coach, low miles are not necessarily a good thing!
