Looking at some Airstreams

Possibly a better way to look at the whole cost issue is to find the trailer that fits your needs and desires, try to make the best deal you can, and then decide in your own mind if it's worth it or not. If it is, buy it and go have fun. Life is short, and after you have initially spent the money on it, you can move past that part of it, and get to the part where you are camped on the beach or in the mountains, sitting outside in the morning with a cup of coffee in your hands. At those moments, you won't even think about or care what you paid for it on delivery day.
Did I mention life is short ?

I don't think that this is a better way to look at it.

I think it is the only way to look at it, especially for us non-full-timers. This is a hobby, for goodness sake. We don't "need" to be doing this, we choose to be doing it. So as with any hobby we spend what we spend on it and must reconcile that in our own minds that it is the best decision made at the time and be done with it. Then enjoy what we have.

Otherwise next thing you know we have "issues" of one sort or the other then go asking for others' opinions, be it here or in front of a "therapist", and the whole thing becomes a "thing" and we have missed the hobby/enjoyment factor we initially were looking for.

My 2 cents .... :)
