The costs outlined below include everything related to the rv itself. The costs DO NOT include campgrounds or other vacation expenses.
I bought in 2007 and got a great deal with a good discount. We vacationed exclusively in the RV while we had it
- owned it for 7 years
- drove it 68,500 miles
- generator had 455 hours
- used it for 455 nights over the 7 year period
The total cost over 7 years including depreciation, insurance, license, storage, maintenance, and fuel was about $87,000
- $12,900 / year
- $192 / night
- $1.28 / mile
A motorhome is absolutely the best way to travel but obviously not the most economical.
Based on your cost/value analysis, will you now be traveling the "other" (not best) ways, or will you buy a cheaper RV? Just curious.
