One other point should be made. The article was about regretting an RV purchase in retirement. If you're only going to use the RV 10 or 20 nights per year it is probably much cheaper to stay in hotels, or rent an RV. But the article talks about using the RV as a home to live in year round and I believe living in hotels year round will be much more expensive.
I saw the TV report titled "Greed" from John Stossel about 10 years ago. He interviewed the wealthy owner of a Silicon Valley tech company I had never heard of. He asked the man how much money he had. The man replied "I have enough money that I don't have to spend 2 nights in the same city for the rest of my life, if I don't want to." With an RV I can say the same thing even though I'm not wealthy.
