Am I correct or not?
In my way of thinking when you purchase a motorhome, as you would a house, it's an investment. Yes, unlike a house, there will be depreciation as opposed to appreciation. If you don't live in it full ...

No way my RV purchase is any sort of an investment. In fact, it drives me to spend even more money. I used to go on vacations maybe once or twice a year, max.. and then, usually one of those two was to a relatives somewhere. Now, because I enjoy my TT so much, I strive for at a minimm once a month to take a long weekend and get away to new and different places.
So, not only does the TT cost me money on a monthly basis, that I would have normally not spent, but I also spent more on accommodations every month, than I would otherwise.
BUT, I LOVE IT. And I wouldn't change it for the world.. other than maybe go more than once a month.
There is no way one can even attempt to justify a RV purchase as an investment, or a way to save money. But, most of us know this going in, and don't feel the need or desire to have to try to rationalize or justify it. It is a hobby/entertainment expense that I have zero problems spending money on.
I collect guns, and go shooting quite often at the gun range. I took up reloading, openly claiming it would save money over commercial ammo. All the while I knew I would shoot more, therefore spend more money than I otherwise would. I have no issues spending that money either. Can't recoup burnt gunpowder.
