We agree - "cost per night" when you factor in the cost of a new coach can easily be over $200 per night for someone who camps 60-90 days per year. The $200 covers expected depreciation, camping fees, gas, insurance, maintenance, license, storage and misc costs. Anyone buying new should crunch the numbers before they jump in with both feet first.
We bought used and the cost comes in way below the cost of new. We'd like to buy new as we approach retirement but are a little gun shy. Our preferred Class C brand runs 100K with tax PLUS the cost of tow package, added features etc. Add in a new toad and you are pushing $150K.
Not sure which direction we will go in.
(The cost of camping in general is so high that we may have to cut things back and spend more time at home. Our home is paid for, holds it's value, and costs about $25 per day to own. (Real Estate Taxes, utilities, association Dues, Insurance, phone bill with internet, water and sewer including delivered bottled water, security monitoring, and maintenance.)
