For what one so called full time rated RV would cost me, I could buy three "throw away" trailers, and just junk them out every ten years. Let's see.... I'd be 95 years old by then. Which probably won't happen.
I have spent on average about 7 months per year for the last five years in my $14,000 (new) funfinder. Only routine maint and mods to suit my use. Getting ready for a fall trip now, and then winter in Arizona again in it.
But then I am, shall we say, "frugal". I also take care of my stuff, which I think is a big key here....be reasonable in how you treat it, and maintain it constantly.
