Any "cheaper" comparison falls apart when you consider the depreciation and deterioration of the RV. There are millions of homes and apartments built prior to 1990 that are in perfect condition and function flawlessly as residences. You can't say the same for Recreational Vehicles. The rig will eventually fall apart and you will have to replace it, and that costs big money. Most of the living components in an RV are simply not as durable or as high quality as those in normal residences. That means the TV, the Microwave, the Stove, The Refrigerator, the heater and air conditioner, the plumbing and everything else will be much more likely to fail. That costs money as well. And most importantly, can you live with your spouse in less than 400 square feet of space? I couldn't. It's one thing to travel, tour, sightsee and have adventures in the small confines of an RV, it's something totally different living day to day in the same space.
