Operating costs vs home
both require:
- Insurance (home might be cheaper) our RV is not a very expensive one, and it costs twice as much as our home to insure nad we have a relatively large home
- both require energy and have associated costs - lots depend on how much you drive
- You have to plan for maintenance on both, but I seem to work on my RV more than my home. The RV may cost next to nothing other than routine maintenance of the fluids and consumables. (brakes, etc.) If the appliances are in good shape (or you are handy enough to repair those) your costs on those should be next to nothing on those items.
POST a note in the "fulltimers" area of this board. A lot of them have first hand experience.
