Yeah, mileage will suck, but such is life. I get about 20 highway now, I expect that to be cut by 1/3 to 1/2. Looking at the math, an RV will cost me slightly more a year than a week at the Outer Banks, however, I can use it a lot more often, so looking at that it makes sense to me. Plus...it will be worth it to get the kids out of the damned house, away from Mario Brothers and into the woods. Can't put a cost on that.
Keep the advice coming, I'm trying to sponge up as much as possible! Like I said, I've been researching, but really only looking at dealer websites and staring at the options. Now I have to start putting on the reality hat and figure out what this will cost me in money AND time :) Fun stuff
