Remember that a motor home is the most expensive form of RV. They have a complete drive train that needs maintenance, things like tires are generally more expensive to buy.

There is a recent thread running about a fella that blew,a rod through the side of the block on his older MH. His dilemma, fix and keep or dump it as is. Motor work is going to cost him between 5 and 10K. Whereas with a pickup the motor might be the same price, but most repair shops are willing to do the work.
Having owned a MH once upon a time, and if I have a large RVing budget would possibly get another one, I am more than content with trailers. I can leave the trailer parked for months at a time and not worry about the motor not starting or changing the oil before I travel. Your tow vehicle can serve as your second vehicle. Not so with a MH. There are many different types of RV's for a reason. Everybody has ways to justify what they have at the time. That is just our nature. And that is exactly what you have to do.
