We've had our ElkRidge going on 3 years, have probably 40k miles on it. We've had similar issues with various components, just like the bigger, more expensive rigs, but the coach has really served us well. We try to go somewhere once a month for long weekends, and about 3 bigger trips throughout the year. We travelled for a month last year to the rally in Gillette, WY and other areas.
For full-time living, I don't think the ER, GS and SD are made for that, but I know there are folks doing it.
Our ElkRidge has everything we need to be fairly comfortable in the traveling we do. Yes, we dream of a Bighorn or Landmark down the road, but I am not at all unhappy with our current "Mammoth".
PM me if you want more details.
