There's an old saying among RVers. The cheapest thing about RVing is the price of the RV. Its all the peripherals that go along with it that gets you. It totally depends on how much you want to spend. Assuming you already have a truck big enough to tow the trailer some of the big ones are 5th wheel hitch 1200 to 2000 depending on what you get and where you get it. Electrical adapters and 30 or 50 amp extension cords, that can be a few hundred dollars, RV barn, not a must but I like keeping my fiver under cover. There again it depends on what you get as to how much you pay. Those are some of the bigger things. Its all of the little things that nickel and dime you to death. Tire covers, all the things you see at Camping world that you can't live without, trust me I am like a kid in a candy store when I go there. I have two sets of everything. one for my house and one set for my trailer. It saves moving everything in and out of your RV every time you get ready to make a trip.
