One more aspect which needs genuine consideration is the price. If you intend on using the recreational vehicle as your new home after buying it then it’s obvious you won’t need to pay rent or mortgage. So you can afford to invest more on the RV if your plans are to use it for full time purposes. Conversely, if you intend on using the RV for travel purposes on occasions then you should spend less. To sum it up, it’s simply about your usage of the vehicle. But one thing you can be assured of about RV sales is that the price of the vehicles will be somewhat lower than that of a house.
I disagree. Just because you're not living in it full-time doesn't mean you "should spend less" on the RV. How much you should spend should be based on YOUR financial situation. What I could afford for a full-time living RV may be a lot less than what someone else can spend on a pleasure RV.
Also, in regards to houses vs. RVs, I can guarantee that I spent less on my house (and could buy it now) at a lower price than many people spend on their RVs.
