Thanks for that information, Tom. I think the master cylinder repair would be the cheaper and easier repair of the two!
I believe you’re right that some speedos do read optimistic, so I assume the mileage is optimistic too.
Many motorhomes have remarkably low mileages – it’s not unusual. As you’ve found, this is a bit of a two-edged sword. Non-use can actually cause big problems. For instance, I seem to remember Renault ‘vans back in the ’70s suffered from brake discs that seized or rusted-up when unused for any period of time.
Many owners don’t use their motorhomes over winter, for instance, and only occasionally during the rest of the year, hence some extremely low mileages.
However… A motorhome lived-in on, say, a Spanish site for six or seven months of the year, doing zero miles can nevertheless end up an absolute wreck as far as the habitation is concerned!
