I gotta chime in here to say that in no shape form or fashion did I buy my coach with the intention of saving money. Nor did I buy it with the intention of reselling it for a profit. There are just too many factors in maintaining a coach that must be calculated into the equation. I, like every other coach owner, am losing money at every turn with it. Fortunately, I'm able to do most of my routine maintenance and general repairs so the savings on labor allow me to feel more comfortable about owning the coach. Since we bought it, I've read so many posts with owners worrying about the difference in costs between 5 and 7 mpg.....not a lot of difference...not worth worrying about. And if that's what one is worrying about prior to purchasing, then one might ought to re-think one's position about buying a coach. They are not cheap to purchase, own or operate...but they are a helluva lot of fun!!!!
X2, Who said this is a cheap way to travel? This is a very expensive hobby.
