thank you all for the good replies. They are very helpful. The DW brought a house into the marriage and I brought one. We own them outright, no mortgage. But we only needed one so we stuck w/hers. That freed up 15000 yr that I HAD to pay in property taxes (Texas 3rd highest in the nation). So now we can divert those funds to RV'ing and we'd still come out ahead or have some left over.
wow that means your house was worth about 2.8 million dollars; could buy a new prevost and have a million left lol
LOL. not quite. up where your live I'd only pay 1000 a yr, here in TX it's 15K. I can't stand this state. the only reason I live here is because of the weather. Oh well, then there's that.
Now as for the Prevost, we decided against Luxury Models because they Lack some of the features we want and are too Gaudy. We hate coming into a unit that has Marble floors (or wannabe marble floors) we do not like Vaulted ceilings (If I want the Bellaggio Experience, I'll go to Vegas, we go there 3 times a yr), I don't want it in my RV where I'm trying, among other things, as close to nature as possible. We Also don't want 2 Full Bathrooms, That's not us. We want an EXTERIOR kitchen, and your Luxury models don't offer that. That's why we decided against the Prevost, Liberty, American Coach, Newmar King Aire, Essex and so on.
I looked up house tax,s for your area its 56 cents(so .56%) for each 100$ of assessed value so if u paid 15000$ that's a assessed value of 2.8 million so I assumed your house had a value of around 2.8 million try California at 1.25 % now that,s high
