IRS and RV's: Tax Deductible?

I was told by someone that RV, if they have a bed, a kitchen, and a bathroom, can be considered a second home and thus deductible on your 1040 when you file taxes. I can't find anything about it in the tax forms. Can some one help me out on this matter?

Have lived in WVa, VA and now NC and you are allowed to deduct the interest you've paid on your RV....ONLY stipulation I've seen is, the unit MUST have a built in bathroom in it....I've been deducting any interest I ever paid on a TT or 5er for years, but couldn't when I owned a pop-up because it didn't have a "built in" bathroom...So I know it's perfectly legit in those three states....

Here. They are considered a second, or vacation home, and the interest can be used for tax purposes as long as the collateral for the loan is the RV.

I won't answer the initial as you should ask your tax person...but if you find it us deductible it can be deducted assuming you itemize your deductions or you take the standard deduction...

You will get lots of opinions here but I would check with your tax person.
