When I read the piece in Motorhome Magazine that prompted this thread, I felt the guy who wrote it was ill informed. I unfortunately do not have a motorhome at this point but I do a lot of research and ask a lot of question. Some may say too many but that's alright because we all do things in our own way.
Although I'm new to the motorhome community I'm relatively well versed in boating. I lived in Florida for many years and new a number of folks who had everything from a Ski-do to an 80' Burger yacht. Most were not rich they just loved boating and did what they needed to participate in what they enjoyed.
And it is there that the boating and motorhome community share a constant theme!
