This is a super discouraging topic. We just bought a 96 Coachmen Santara. We were thrilled to find something well maintained and in a size we like for a price low enough that we could pay cash. It's sitting in our driveway and we are having a great time updating and personalizing it.
I hope the reality does not destroy the dream. We've dreamed of this our entire adult lives. We don't so much hope to save money on travel, but more we like the certainty of having what we need right there with us and not having the hassle of hotel rooms and luggage. We think the idea of parking and relaxing in our own space but in a new environment sounds exciting!

You're doing it for the right reasons and not expecting it to be a "cheap and easy way to travel". Not wanting to deal with hotels, luggage, etc., is reasonable. Thinking that RV travel is going to save you enough money to retire early is unrealistic.
