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.

LOL, you are a woman after my own heart!!! When I go on vacation, I want to sleep on very comfy beds—and I DO NOT want to cook, wash dishes, nor do housekeeping!!!! This is why I WILL NOT GO CAMPING, and RV’ing is just another kind of camping.

>>my idea of a vacation is NOT cooking and cleaning.

My wife half jokingly (or less) says her idea of roughing it is staying at a hotel that doesn’t have a spa.

No, make that about a day.

Every time I pass by a neighbor's house, or the home of a relative, and see a big RV or fifth-wheel or even a big boat...I think Oh so much better thee than me.

I grew up around boats and RVs and such. Even beyond the purchase price, and the cooking and cleaning and packing and supplying...the maintenance costs are endless and high.

I drive my pickup to the mountains with my fly rod or my rifle and am good for all day.
