I always assume people with RV's are rich.

It costs more to travel with those things than it is to just get a hotel room.

It depends. If you're not investing a lot of time in it, it's an expensive hobby. However, over the years we've met a lot of people that live like nomads in their motorhomes. Those people aren't rich. They're essentially migrant workers.

I take mine on several riding trips a year. Usually there aren’t hotels within 40-50 miles. Or like little Sahara there’s only a few hotels and they’re booked months in advance. Then we park it June, July, august and into September on lake Hudson in Salina Oklahoma. Stay at least one night a weekend there. I can park for free and have to use the generator but it justifies the money to me. I’ve only got 12-13k in my camper. Going on year two of that many weekends at the lake I’ve come close to breaking even. But that’s not counting the upgraded truck costs. I’d have a half ton of not for the camper.

That's a great point. You have to pull it.

We've got an Infiniti QX80 which is a pretty expensive option for doing basically nothing but pulling a camper.
