True, but once you get up to those $300-$500 a night rooms, RV's start looking pretty good!

Not unless you spend more than 3 weeks on the road a year.
Just the amortization of the cost of the RV was more than we spent on
rooms, rentacars and air fare when we ran the numbers with my RV owner
neighbor (based on losing 50% of the purchase price in 5 years).

That was a conservative guess

Well, a big part of that depends on the purchase price of the RV. Ours wasn't near six figures -
unless you include the truck, which I don't 'cause I needed it anyway.

Unless you really need a big truck for something else, you have to
include the truck. Those guys with 5th wheelers look pretty funny at
home depot with a dually.

Those guys with a dually have a *big* dick, or so I've heard. The extra capacity afforded by the
dually is about 1100lbs for the Silverado 2500 diesel. There are a bunch of cons.

I needed that truck to haul stuff with. Actually, the one I had prior to this one hauled stuff, but
I gave it to a nephew.

I will never be without a pickup. The downside is that others like that
I own one!!
