I wonder why anyone would rant about how someone else uses what they bought.
Motor Homes, Campers and RVs of any type were bought to be used.
They were not bought for an investment and to be stored and polished daily.
Anyone who buys a new one will see the fast devaluation if they want to sell.
The usage ranges from weekend warriors to full timers and all in between.
All ages from the young couples with children to us retired folks.
All physical abilities from the very healthy to those fulling their bucket list.
The RV is enjoyed by all in many different ways.
Maintenance ranges from routine to the obsessive compulsive and is performed
by the DIY person that is physically able or paid for by someone without
the knowledge. Economic conditions also play a big part in how something
is maintained. Without walking in someone else's shoes, we will never understand
their circumstances.
Same is the way customization may occur.
Some people like a factory stock unit and would not change a thing.
Others of us feel that the cookie cutter approach leaves a lot to be desired.
Will the next owner like? Who cares? He did not buy it nor is he using it.
The new owner take a major hit in value as soon as he leaves the lot. He is
looking at his enjoyment and not someone else's.
I could care less if a future buyer does not like the changes I made. They can go buy a new one and make their own changes to stay with the cookie cutter approach.
Anyone that stays in an RV for any length of time will not keep it uncluttered
and white glove inspection ready. If the owners are comfortable in it, they paid
for it, they own it, that is all that matters.
In place of being judgmental, that is a two way street, people should mind their own business and enjoy what life they have left.
Instead of ranting about what is for sale, save up and buy new.
Take the hit and complain about that.
Life is short. Too short to worry about little things.
