You guys are all missing the point concerning the value of your RV.
Regardless of what you paid, regardless of what it's worth , new or used none of that really matters.
The only way to get value out of your RV is to use it. If you are using your RV often you are getting value out of it.
If your RV sits idle for long periods you are wasting your money.
I use my RV regularly. I am happy with the life remaining in the unit and its condition.
I keep my RV at home and tinker with it by doing various mods etc.
I don't evaluate it worth via my bank account. I evaluate its worth by the amount I use it and the enjoyment I get from using it.
I would not be happier if I had more $$$ in the bank and less RV time. Nor would I be happy if I had a bargain price RV that was not the one I wanted.
I'm not a financial guru nor am I on skid row.
There are certainly wiser ways to spend my money. There are also investments I could have made with my RV funds. But none of those would have given me the enjoyment,experiences and satisfaction that I get from my RV.
An economy car, a tent and a few nights in a hotel could have saved me a bundle and allowed for a few more investments.
I did not by my RV to improve my portfolio or my financial status.
In some ways the RV could be seen as a big irrational waste of money.
But I don't see it that way. As long as I am able to use my RV on a regular basis I am getting my money's worth and then some.
I simply bought it to use it and enjoy the RV lifestyle without a care in the world
