Real world cost of owning a class c - ouch!

This got me doing a quick calculation on my rig. I tried to include all the same costs the OP mentioned. I came up with A cost of $40,000 over 6 years. My rig was not purchase new(obviously) and I have done a ton of work myself. It is quite surprising what it costs when you add it all up...BUT I wouldn't trade any of it. My family and I have made the best memories and you can't put a price tag on that. Also, when you consider this is for six people it becomes rather reasonable. I've often spoken with people who think purchasing an old RV would make for cheap vacations....what they don't realize is there is always something to fix/repair/upgrade or a new gadget.(never mind the gas)
