"a little more money? I guess $20,000 to $50,000 is a little more money to you, but it's a lot to me. Maybe you'll say that you get it back in resale, but I don't see that to be the case. I just checked NADA values for a random 23-foot Airstream, and it decreased in value from about $50K to $20K in 6 years. That's 60 percent depreciation in 6 years which is about normal for RVs."
Takeaway - Buy a 6 year old Airstream for $20k. Use it for 5 years while maintaining it and sell it for $20k. This is exactly what I did with my Bigfoot except the number was $21k. My experience over the years is that you can never go wrong by buying quality (I always buy used). Maybe this is what the OP had in mind.
