The 'smartest' money play is not to own an RV.
This.
If you don't have at least $3000 a year to put into your RV use then you shouldn't bother with RVing.
We use our RV about once a month. Figure $150 a month in gas, and $90 a month in storage.
That's $2880 a year with no other expenses considered, such site fees and "camper food", insurance, etc. We probably have about $1000 a year in repairs in our 1990 Winnebago keeping it on the road. This year it was the engine water pump. Last year it was the fuel pump. Year before that it was the cab AC. Next year it will be tires.
