I have a 2003 Monaco Dipl with 86000 miles on. We bought for the long haul. Alaska , east coast etc. We had great time in it and wouldn't trade those experiences. We knew it would be a depreciating asset and when we sold it we would lose money. We just moved our stuff out of it and are getting ready to sell it. We've had 11 years of " big RV traveling". Now were downsizing to a small trailer. Why? One, cause we want to and two the big RV doesn't fit our needs anymore .¡!We still want to RV, just gonna do a different way. Life is short. Do the rv'ing the way you want to. If you like the big RV . Keep it. If you want to change then do so. We're not rich with unlimited funds but if you want to make a change, figure out the best way and do it. We didn't get into RV' ing cause we needed to. Email me if anybody's interested
