I suspect people are surprised by the expense of dealer service, the lack of independent mechanics that are hip to the Riv's esoterics, and the difficulty/risk of working on it yourself without the FSMs.

I've only had it for 6000 miles. From the nature of the wear I found I don't believe it was given any special treatment. It wasn't beat on especially hard either IMO. As always, a junky person can junk ANY car.
