Was my $180,000 Crown bus conversion worth it 40 years ago? It all stayed working. It will be around for my grandchildren. To each his own.
$180K in 1980 equates to just under $600K in 2021.
How many folks have that kind of money sitting around to spend on a camper for a few weekend camping trips and a two week vacation per year. Heck, how many people can afford to buy a house at that cost.
Sure spending a lot of money for a quality product is "worth it". But that doesn't make it a good decision.
The issue I see is that in the past, you had: expensive and high quality; inexpensive and decent quality; and cheap and cr@ppy.
Now, you have to choose between expensive and decent quality or cr@ppy.
