Does this make sense?

Hi,

I don't think you need to spend 80K on a 5 year old class C. Look for a 26 foot with no slides.

Buy a nice used one right and you will most likely be able to sell it for what you paid for it if you keep it maintained and clean.

Buying a new MH will keep you upside down till you die. I.E. you will never be able to sell it for what you owe on it. And will forever be in debt. RV's lose a "huge" depreciation just driving it off the dealers lot.

It was what I did after I thankfully got a clear mind and cancelled the order for that brand new DP I "thought" I had to have. Drove my first used Class C for 4 years and then sold it for what I paid for it. 4 years of free RV'ing to travel the roads to see where I wanted to settle down. :C

Find a nice used Class C that has the floor plan that works for you and your family. Check to see if the selling price is in line or less than with what it is appraised at.

Which by the way there are a plethora of real nice RV's for sale you can find at less than what some book appraises them at.

Sad for the seller, but great for a buyer, are the many RV owners out there who desperately need to sell their RV for one reason or another and can be bought for way less than what they are worth. I know I found several and bought them.

Take your time and search around for the best deal and take the plunge. Hope you find the perfect RV for you and your family. :C

YES

Yep makes sense but you may become addicted to the RV life and then it will cost$80,000

It's financially reasonable to buy/sell over renting for a while.

The fun thing to do would be to keep it and use it to see this beautiful country!

Find a floor plan you like then go for it.
