The bigger question here is what is the cost of not pursuing your hobby. We spend much of our play money on our RV and the travel that goes with it. But I do not look back and feel cheated by the expense nor do I spend so much that it puts us into a bind. We have an older RV and spend the required time and money to keep it up. If I had more disposable income I might have a newer more expensive RV. The beauty of this hobby is that I can make due with many different style rigs or tents. The hobby can be suitable for many different income levels.
