1 RVs are expensive.
No, Expensive RVs are expensive.
2 You spend more updating the decor.
Umm, you should have stopped reading at this one. This is an Unimaginably stupid thing to say.
3 Your RV Will Depreciate in Value
maybe, maybe not, maybe you did not spend enough to matter. maybe you break even, maybe the depreciation is such a small amount after so many years that it is trivial, maybe you make money when you sell like I always do.
4 RVs Guzzle Gas
some do, some do not do as bad as some SUVs towing nothing.
If you drive constantly, or if you park mostly will affect the gas budget more than the mpg.
I get 15-17mpg RVing
5 You'll Need Extra Insurance
not really. I did not.
6 Health Care Can Be a Hassle
Possibly true for some, possibly a valid point.
7 You'll Have to Deal With Your Own Waste
if its brown, flush it down. Waste is a big part of RV life. There are ways to make it easier.
8 Quarters Are Close
yes. cozy, close, and very mobile. The world is your backyard.
9 RVs Aren't Easy to Drive
wrong, they are fun to drive, and easy.
10 Overnight Parking Can Be Problematic
Sometimes, very dependent on what you do, where you go, how you like to live…
11 Repairs Can Be Costly
Generally a 3/4 ton cost a little more in parts to fix than a half-ton. It is not more expensive otherwise. You drive miles, you will need to spend money no matter a Honda civic, or a class A RV.
12 You'll Need to Get Rid of a Lot of Your Stuff
how is this an issue?
13 It Can Get Lonely on the Road
or lonely in that big ole house
They obviously are not RVers. They forgot you need to use water sparingly if not at a campground, and that propane has to be bought or refilled.
