Our current (second) MH is a 32' Class A gasser, F53 chassis with V-10 engine. We love it, but the dreaded cost/benefit thing has hit us broadside. We'll be selling it in the next few weeks, probably through a local and well respected consignment dealer.
When you start dipping into your IRA just to fund an RV trip, you have to step back and decide if it's really that important. We've decided it's not. When we started with our first RV, a 26' Class C, gas was around $1.75 a gallon, State Parks were $15 a night and the fancier commercial CGs were maybe $22.
Now gas is still close to $4, SP's are pushing $30 and we haven't seen a commercial site less than $45 this season.
We'll miss the lifestyle, but, from our perspective, it's just not feasible any longer.
