This kind of sad journalism is called click bait. I doubt the professional writer who cranks out this nonsense has ever even owned an RV. Here is my experience on the 14 points.
1. My RV was not expensive.
2. Even years later we have changed none of the decor.
3. Depreciation was a plus for us. We bought used.
4. I spent less on fuel while traveling than when I commuted for work.
5. Insurance costs on our RV were really, really low.
6. We had no issues with healthcare or finding providers.
7. Waste is a nuisance not much worse than taking out the trash.
8. Space is tight indoors but we lived in the great wide outdoors.
9. My RV is easy too drive and park. We did not overdo the size.
10. We never had an issue finding parking and rarely make reservations.
11. In over 10 years, we only had one simple repair performed by a shop.
12. We downsized but also stored much of our stuff. Storage was cheap.
13. Loneliness was not an issue and we visited friends and relatives.
14. We did not need to prep by renting first. We bought our RV and never used it until we started as full timers. There were no surprises or setbacks.
Excellent response, *applause*
