1. Insurance costs on a Super C?
Mine is about $1,000/yr with Progressive.
2. Maintenance cost on a Super C?
This depends a lot on how much you do yourself. Routine maintenance is mainly oil change and lube yearly. I have read that Speedco charges about $300. With a Super C you should have a lot more options for servicing since it is on a chassis that is accessible and familiar to many truck service facilities. Many other maintenance items are on a 2-3 year or longer basis. Tires are a big item every 6 years or so, but you can plan for that.
3. Licensing costs on a Super C?
The biggest hit comes at the time of purchase and depends on where you are located. I got this from the Colorado DMV website.
•License fee – Based upon your vehicle's weight, purchase date and taxable value.
•Sales tax – Based on your vehicle's net purchase price.
•Ownership tax – This is a personal property tax based on the worth of your vehicle when it was brand new.
Personally, I think the biggest expense is depreciation. Especially early on, when you figure how much less your RV is worth each year, some of the other costs seem small. Each of us have to do a cost/benefit analysis where the benefit is primarily memories. I wish you luck with your decision.
