What the heck? I thought motorhomes lost value fast!!

3 years ago I paid $1750 for a 1987 Class A Gulfstream with 14,000 miles, and it cost $40,000 new. Ford 460 with C-6. By the time I got it running right and made all repairs, modifications, and customizing I had spent enough to the point where I would lose money by selling, even though I did all the work myself. But it's too much fun to even consider that! It runs better than new and looks great.
