Time to move on - Life Changes

Nice ridgeline!!

We sold our TT (for not a whole lot) 3 years ago. I do miss it, but I don’t miss the extra care. With the money saved in gas, we can afford a hotel and have learned to do 1-2 night overnights to a neat hotel and dinner somewhere. Cant do long stays, but that’s ok.

I’m prepared to camp again, but the wife is kinda done with it so it’s shorter guy trips.

I priced our travel trailer $3,000.00 under book to sell it. I looked on FB Marketplace-and so many wanted top dollar and they were languishing on FB for literally months.
It sold in about 6 hours. Got about 50% what we paid for it after 6 years-and it was used extensively and towed many thousands of miles.
Not unhappy.......

It still seems to work fine on our 2015 Honda Pilot with 147k.

My wife's 2011 Odyssey was good to 160,000....Then it started fouling #2 plug with oil. I've soaked the rear pistons several times & muzzled it....Been good to 190,000, But it will eventually need the rear pistons pulled to fix it correctly.

Not any different than GM AFM failures at 150,000-200,000.....A failure is a failure. People just view Toyota & Honda failures through a different lens.

Only due to piss poor maintenance.

My Odyssey gets a oil change every 5,000 miles & was absolutely spotless when I did a valve adjustment 30,000 miler ago.

Maintenance has nothing to do with the engine mounts.

I am specifically referring to VCM, common sense would tell you that I am not referring to motor mounts.

5,000 mile intervals which is smart, clean engine, you stated nowhere that you had a failure, valve adjustments are normal maintenance.

My Odyssey has VCM problems, Read the post above the one you quoted.

OP swaps cars as often as I do, and there's nothing wrong with that!

I concur, kumbayah to the shiny new things crowd!
