Well ... we do have some unanticpated overall SAVINGS from us owning an RV ... such as :C :
- My DW has a bad back, but fortunately she now finds the RV bed way more comfortable so we are spared from having to buy a new bed for our master bedroom.
- We no longer have to pay motel/hotel bills for vacations.
- Instead of having to buy/build an additional tool shed, I now can store tools in the RV that I need quick access to.
- We can now retreat to the RV and stay comfortable during winter storms that take out power to our all-electric stick-house.
- The DW loves to fish but due to her back can't ride in our pickup to pull the boat ... but now the RV pulls the boat to fishing spots so she can come along to fish while getting there in comfort.
- We can take the dog on vacations because we can now use the outside shower on it to reduce groomer bathing costs when certain things begin to smell on vacations.
- We can now carry up to 2,000 lbs. of rocks back from RV trips instead of ruining the rear suspension on our sedan.
- We can now go potty on the road during vacations as much as we want without having to always buy something the makes us fat(ter) at McDonalds as an excuse.
- We can now carry pizza along on vacations and bake it anytime instead of leaving our tentsite to drive all the way into town to pick up one ready to go and then keep it warm all the way back to camp.
- Etc.
