out with the old and in with the new

Dodge Guy is directing that at me and I take no offense to the comment whatsoever. For someone who buys a truck solely for RVing almost 10,000/year for the cost of running just the TV might start sounding a little scary. The thing about it is that when you total up all your costs you discover that running a vehicle is expensive. So if I had bought a 10 year old depreciated out truck for 15 thousand and been fairly fortunate with it and had say 3000 on repairs over the last 5 years and managed to sell it now as a 15 year old truck with 300,000 miles for lets say $6k I would have maybe cut my expenses down to about 39k over 5 years.
