Yesterday, while out boating sitting around on a shallow sandbar sucking up appropriate boat beverages (beer, same as RVers), we were doing the same comparisson. In our boating days we were doing something around 40 nights a year. We lived for getting out on the boat.
The reality for most boaters is that they might get a total of 15 overnights a year. Have to wonder why most even have a boat. Such a hassel to load then unload after only a night or two. Load the car. Drive to the boat. Unload car. Walk forever to get boat loaded. Do a pile of things that must be done before the boat is ready to move. Do all of that in reverse when you return.
Most RVers have it easy. Directly load the RV at your leasure right outside your house. Hook up & off we go.
For us it takes a full day of air travel & sitting around waiting for the connection then an hours shuttle bus ride to where our truck is. However we do a minimum of 2 month long trips.
