This.

And you do have to look at it as a hobby, not something that you can justify the cost of.

Set aside your purchase money plus a fair amount for things like tire replacement, and items you might need to equip it.

You will enjoy it the most if you keep it stocked and ready to go at a moment's notice.

If I do anything I would buy something used. Getting something and trying it for a year sounds like a good idea. As you stated I could sell it and probably not loose a great deal.

I would definitely keep it stocked and ready to go. I have enough stuff (dishes, pans, clothes, etc.) to keep it stocked and not have to go out and buy a lot.

This sounds like a way to go!

This is what I would suggest as well. Not everyone enjoys the rv lifestyle. Some prefer motels and restaurants for vacations. I personally enjoy going places that motels are not always present or eating establishments.
