Maintenance costs on a Rialta could be expensive (though, perhaps compared to the TOC of a home, they turn out to be pretty inexpensive). I own a EuroVan (in which, coincidentally, my family and I will be living out of for a time next spring), on which the Rialta is based, and repairs are not cheap, and it can be difficult to find a good mechanic who will actually look at it.
- msisk6 17y agoI've heard that a lot of VW dealers won't work on RVs like the Rialta or Vista -- these are too big to fit in their service bays. And from their point of view, only the front 6-feet or so is VW, the rest is something else they can't fix. Still, everyone I know with one, or even those with EuroVans, love them.
- bmj 17y agoVW dealers will grudgingly work on EVs, and a lot of independent VW garages won't touch them (and the point about the service bays is well-taken). I'm guessing you might have to travel far and wide to find an RV shop that's knowledgeable about the VW internals, too.
- tynan 17y agoIt's true that it's somewhat hard to find places that work on them, but there are independent shops in pretty much every city that will do it.
