Well, since I started this discussion I'm guessing this advice was mainly being directed back to me. Yes, I could have continued tent camping out of the back of my S-10 as I did for many years while I was working and saving for my retirement. That's certainly cheaper than any kind of RV. But now that I'm retired I feel I can and should spend the money I saved as I choose and for me that means RV camping in a Class B. I choose to think of it as a fiberglass tent on wheels that doesn't need to be set up (in the rain) or taken down (in the rain). The costs to some may seem outrageous, but the benefits to me are priceless. But thanks for your opinion.
