another comment that does make a lot of sense..
thanks to all the comments, even the derogatory comments. I need to learn how to communicate better. Youd think at 51 id have learned.
Not at all. You have an opinion and stated it well. Remember this is a forum full of folks who spent a great deal of money on their hobby, and many can only tolerate positive reinforcement. Some are well positioned to own whatever they want. Some have made sound decisions with their choices, and are doing well. Some should have never made the very bad decisions they did. They ended up in debt up to their ears, for RVs that they will be upside down on, forever. Many bought absolute junk, because, they think exactly 180* opposite of your reasoning. They wanted all the bells, whistles and junk they saw. The fact that all the junk they lusted after is sourced from the cheapest of Chinese suppliers, or that the structure is failing since the frame was slammed together by a illegal making piece rate to slap poor quality welds on under-engineered and undersized steel, is something they come to learn later.
Finally, posters being dismissive of you owning "old junk" are hilarious. I own a decade old Winnebago that is in excellent condition. I'm all in, at less than a third of what the new model of this size costs. I have two friends who just spent (actually one borrowed) big bucks for a motorhome and a luxury fifth wheel from the big two (Forrest river and Thor) To call either of these rigs "steaming piles of sheet" would be a slap in the face to sheet piles everywhere. They are unimaginably horrendous rolling junk piles and combined are a waste of a 1/4 million dollars. If my rig disappeared tomorrow, I would shop for another 7-10 year old, well regarded brand. The current crop of overdecorated, horrendously built trash doesn't interest me. As for truck prices, many here are correct. Used diesels that are five years old, nearing 100K miles, and selling for 75-80% of original invoice, just make it clear to me that there are a lot of fools out there.
