we have to touch upon the payment factor , many families that want to RV as a activity look at 'can we afford the payments' ?
These trucks cannot be financed / leased like pick ups(that is used as collateral). No bank will do it unless you have equity for some kind, and if you do you may as well just write a cheque yourself.
What you said is true, it would be pretty difficult to get financing to buy an HDT that would be used as a"recreational vehicle". This fact does take a bite out of the number of folks who will be able to take advantage of this option.
If a person doesn't have the cash to buy an HDT outright to me it makes much more sense to put off the instant gratification that has become a part of our culture to save the money over a period of time that will enable paying LESS for MORE that can be enjoyed for many years to come. Now I know full well that what I have just written goes against the "have it all now, pay for it later" way of life most Americans aspire to but that life style also comes at a great cost.
