I don't see an RV as an investment and I know I will lose money over time.....However.....I don't often agree with "2gypsies", but their math actually works.

There were also a couple of people that talked about finding hotels much cheaper than $100 and even at $50.00.....yuck, I can feel the bed bugs biting now!

You cannot say a hotel costs x and a campground is y. There absolutly is a real cost in that depreciation. Just because you do not sell your rv after every trip and realize the loss in value doesnt mean it is not there.
