As has been posted, TC's are extremely expensive for the square footage you get plus you need a large truck to haul them safely. In my early 20's, I did not have that much money so used a small truck and a fiberglass travel trailer or pop up trailer. It wasn't until my late 30's that I could afford a large truck and toy hauler (which cost almost what you will pay for a large TC and enclosed trailer). Because of the cost, I don't think you will find much of the young crowd can afford a TC setup. However, it is easier financially to get into RVing with a trailer and use your current vehicle.
A lot of truth to that.
Very nice Stealth WA2916 toyhauler we just got for $ 41K, MSRP about 59K.
A brand new AF 1150 Drybath is right about 38-40K now. MSRP is the 50-55K range.
I have several friends that have had older campers that they paid 2-5K for. Nothing fancy but they gave a comfy bed, heat, etc..many have stepped up into nicer TCs or toyhaulers.
Our first RV was a tent trailer we bought for 2,300, used for 3 summers and sold for $ 2,200.
Where there is a will, there is a way.
And really most people in their 20s are still going to just tent it so they can appreciate the RV life in their 30s and 40s.
