We inherited one from my Dad.
It took a beating on depreciation.
When you factor in insurance, taxes and storage fees, he lost tens of thousands of dollars.
He put less than 3,000 miles on it.
We were so glad to get rid of it.
RV dealers make used car dealers look like saints.
Several years ago, hubby and I went through about a week of thinking we may want an RV. No, make that about a day.
We had friends who’d rented RV’s, as groups/families, for trips and >thought< this might be fun.
I looked at him and said...wait...my idea of a vacation is NOT cooking and cleaning...which is what you pretty much have to do, while traveling/using an RV.
Our uncle and aunt have one, not sure what size....looks huge, with the double slide outs, etc....bought it brand new....only have about 3K miles on it, and now they just keep it stored in a special garage they built for it.
My parents had one. RVs are a lot of work.
Like boats, the second happiest day of their RV lives was buying it. They had it for sale forever.
The depreciation on RV’s is phenomenal - I know of nothing that depreciates faster.
A boat is a hole in the water into which you throw money.
An RV is burning money. They can lose 20 - 25% of their value a year.
Was going to get a Class A motorhome until I researched it.
Even buying a Class A that has lost 50% of its original value is a waste.
