Certainly Paul Allen and Larry Ellison have some very expensive yachts but the boats owned by most mortal people are less than $80k and that seems to be the starting point for a bare bones pusher. My neighbor paid $120k for his a dozen years ago and it wasn't that fancy. My buddy's neighbor/landlord has one that is more like a megabuck with the trailer. http://gfretwell.com/ftp/Bobs%20RV.jpg |

Two collectible cars as a general rule. It is a double decker car carrier. This guy has over 100 of them in various stages of restoration. |

A new 45' Prevost can run upwards of $1.5 million. You don't see many of those at your 'average' campground. I think there was only one at Gettysburg where I was. I suppose you're comparing prices by foot. I guess I was thinking more of the yachts in the 100' and more range. Seems like those get pretty expensive. You can pack only so much 'stuff' into a 45' motorhome, but I don't think there's a limit to how long and expensive a yacht can be. |

There are some really nice yachts out there but those are the uber rich. |
