Purchasing our first Class A and depreciation

The value in an RV is really intangible. The value is in joy, memories, traveling with your own stuff, own bed, own food etc and the ability to enjoy all the benefits of rolling and portable apartment. It's a vacation home anywhere you want. If you look at RV's in a dollar based value, you will lose plain and simple. I think selling any RV for more than you paid or even breaking even is elusive if not impossible. Expect it to depreciate. Know that up front, accept it, and understand the true value of any RV is in the intangibles, not the numbers.
