The 2-3 yr. old Diesel Pusher can have a huge range depending if you are talking entry level or top-of-the-line. I would say entry level at least $100,000.
Honestly, depreciation doesn't matter as it will be worth what it's worth when you sell it or your kids sell it. A lot also depends on how long you want to keep it. One thing is for sure, it will be a lot less than what you paid. We all would love to see inside that crystal ball.
Maintenance is generally about $500-$800 a year on ours, we drive 8,000-9,000 miles a year.
Yes, you can go to the bathroom while going down the road and even make a sandwich but you really have to be careful. If you were to hit the brakes for an unexpected reason, wifey is going to come flying to the front and may possibly get hurt. I would always pull over at a rest stop or large fuel station and make lunch and take a bathroom break. It's always good to stretch anyway.
Good luck, safe travels,
