Mostly we are pretty satisfied with our 2002 30 ft. Itasca Class C purchased 2 yrs ago but afraid I can't do much to allay the newbies fear about the expense of a motorhome, new or used. New ones have terrible resale value so depreciation becomes the most expensive part of RVing. Used ones also depreciate and at times it seems that it needs something repaired or added most of the time. Going a year without repair cost would be unusual even though ours only had 21,000 miles. My son, with a used Class A, feels the same. He jokes (not funny) that it costs him $300 every time he takes it in for anything. I guess we have grown to expect and accept the cost and really enjoy using it and just hope that in the long run it won't cost more than long trips using hotels, etc. I never advise anyone to RV to save money, even with trailers but we do hate motels. Sorry, just trying to be realistic.
