Mr. Lurker1,
Thank you for sharing your experience as I think it will help someone make a more informed decision.
Any toy, like a motorhome, will cost to enjoy it. A lot of 'things' can fall into that category like a boat, jet ski's, 4 wheelers, car collections, etc., everything depreciates except maybe some collectible cars.
I bought a 1964 antique car in 1998. I have put about $15,000 in repairs/tires over the years. I probably could get 75%-80% back of the total investment. It is much slower depreciation than if I had bought a new car in 1998 and kept it 18 yrs. Every time I put more repair work into it, the thumbs up I get driving it around just seals the desire to keep spending and enjoying it.
