Regardless of the cheap oil, gas is still pretty expensive and those ****ers eat a lot of gas. It's why my dad parked his, then sold it. Crunch the numbers though. There's the real answer. |

I'll admit that RVs seem to make no sense financially. But I'm not sure they ever have. I've run the numbers casually, and I think they're neutral at best compared to staying in a hotel. I presume that people buy them so they can sleep in their own bed and fix their own meals and pump their own human wastes.

To me RV's are something you rent. I am planning a few trips when I retire in about 4 years. I also plan to do a few excursions on houseboats that you can rent.

Oh, since this is an investment thread, I'll also add that the SaaS (ITSM) investments like ServiceNow have paid off nicely over the last 2 years. OKTA is an Identity Access Management solution that's doing well too. I bought that earlier this year and it's nearly doubled so far. Have a look. |

Do you have a general budget? I presume that you're only paying for hook-up utilities and internet in terms of housing? What's your monthly gasoline cost? (If you don't mind sharing.)

Yeah, no way would I sink that much money into a motorhome, hence the reason we did the fifth wheel. More space and freedom and it's something I can work on without bringing in the experts. There's so many things that can and will go wrong.

Yeah, it's a motorhome, probably well over 100K and he just uses it for travel away from his home. He's about 75 years old , retired pharmacist so money isn't a big deal i don't think.
