As an engineer type, I have lived my life at the bottom right corner of a spreadsheet.
If you are paying off a new (fill the vehicle combination of choice), you will loose.
If you are trying to save money with any RV of any type, it is really tough to do. All of ours until this one have been losers, but we learned a lot.
We now attend several music festivals in a year, accommodations in striking range are simply unavailable. Food there is outrageously expensive. They even charge way too much to dry camp on the lot/fairground.
But, when I compare all that to the cost of running a paid-for old coach, the coach wins. We do store it in our own barn and I do most all the maintenance that it needs, so that all adds up fast.
It all depends on what you are doing and when. It just may not work for you.
