Thank you all for the quick responses! Greatly appreciated!
Yes, I get that it will not be an investment, but that is the same if I take my wife and fly somewhere for a vacation. And over a time of 7 years, the cost is roughly the same, but an RV gives us so much more freedom like simply going somewhere for a weekend, taking the dogs, taking the kids that I am sure that we will not regret the investment (and while it will be a new RV to me, I camped with my parents (way back...) for 15+ years and really enjoyed it.
I share the concerns with the weight and we already looked at an alternative that has about 1000lbs less weight and should be more in the reasonable range for the QX56. We also asked the dealer, if they would hook it up to our car and let us test drive it.
