I'd guess that it's compared to not buying an RV -- there are lots of ways to retire without driving around in an RV that can be expensive to own and operate and someone contemplating the lifestyle needs to look at both pros and cons.
To start a discussion, here are the main points from the 14 reasons you will regret an RV in retirement article:
- RVs Are Really Expensive As if rent or a mortgage is cheap
- You’ll Spend Even More Money Updating Your RV's Decor Compared to aa 1800 square foot house, doubtful
- Your RV Will Depreciate in Value so does your car
- RVs Guzzle Fuel only if you continually move, as if a home does not guzzle fuel to heat or cool
- You'll Need Extra Insurance for Your RV have you checked rates for a cabin in the woods lately...
- Health Care Can Be a Hassle When Traveling in an RV Maybe some
- You'll Have to Deal With Your Own Waste From Your RV And a lot less yard work
- Quarters Are Close in Your RV combined with far better open space right out the door
- RVs Aren’t Easy to Drive says who
- Overnight Parking Can Be Problematic With an RV only if you expect a free night in the city
- RV Repairs Can Be Costly compared to a home, doubtful
- You’ll Need to Get Rid of a Lot of Your StuffThis is actually one of the best parts
