Seems to me if you're going to finance the entire thing, you're better off spending those monthly payments on rent for an apartment.
You have a good point. However, first of all, I am not sure where I am going to be landing a job so If I am mobile I am in a little better shape.
Second, I have been looking and its hard to find anything under $1500 a month not including that I have to find a place to accept 3 cats.
Third, rent is just money flushing away every month. With a RV, I am actually paying "rent" on something that I ended up owning in a few years (5-10 years). Also, I dont plan to live in the RV for longer than maybe 2-3 years.
Thanks for the feedback
The whole buying vs renting is valid IF you were not flushing an astronomical amount of money away paying INTEREST!
You may also want to consider the cost of insurance on each option. As well as the cost of licencing each option. How about upkeep? The cost of motorhome repair vs truck repair.
