Personally if I was to spend 285K I would have an RV and a truck and a house and a boat and a Harley and and and. That kind of money for an RV “for me” is crazy. If that is what you want and have the coin than go for it. I have always been practical and frugal (some may tell you I am cheap). The top 5 brands are what you want and how deep your pockets are.
We have an 05 Cameo and an 05 Dodge CTD dually both bought used and have been full timing in them for over two years. We have had a few issues just like I did with the sticks and bricks. You have to do maintenance on anything. If I was to do it again I would change a few things, hind sight being 20/20. I don’t want any kind of payments. I bought what I did because it is our home. If we were weekending and vacationing I would have spent way less than the 45K I put out for this rig “Truck & trailer”.
We have camped next to million dollar bus conversions and tenters. They all seem to enjoy their camping experience. I think the best one is the one you get. I have seen a lot of the mentioned “top 5” that have had problems and a lot of old and I mean old 5ers and TT that are still in use and families enjoying. To each their own.
