You're drinking from the fire hose in problem solving right now.
My thoughts are once you've worked on something to fix it, you're now more in tune with that one thing and will learn how it fits into the big picture of your rig. If any of those 'one things' occur while on the road you will have at least had some experience with it and be able to fix it with less stress.
I truly laughed out loud at your "drinking from the firehose of problem solving". Excellent description! Haha. And I wholeheartedly agree. My brother, rest his soul, was a mechanical genius, but I didn't get that gene. I am a tenacious problem solver, however. Between the previous owner and the many gurus here who have already encountered similar issues, I'm pretty sure that most issues can be sorted out. I did take a significant amount of tools with me on the last two trips, knowing that these are going to be more like "test runs". I've decided that I will be keeping a significant set of tools in the coach at all times. Being on the road and knowing the right tool is at home is an aggravating thought. Lol
