Your wife made a $60k purchase without involving you? That wouldn't fly in my household no matter who makes the purchase (me or my wife).
She made the purchase WITH A 48 HR OUT, if needed.
He knew she was RV shopping, didn't know she was going to purchase, but she found what SHE really wanted. I would have done the same thing.
Yes, with a new vehicle, you will take the first year depreciation hit, but do you buy your cars used? Do you take a hit on the depreciation when you purchase a new one? Yes, but I like to have a new one occasionally.
If you keep the RV for more than 2-3 years, your depreciation hit does level out. You will get more return on your purchase if, after 3 years, you want to trade it in or sell it, if it is a one owner instead of two or three owners in that many years.
