it's not illegal to daily driver a motorhome
But it's a bit inconvenient unless your motorhome is a van conversion because it's bigger than the cars everything is designed around. t. motorhome dailying chad
>>28596293What size of motorhome do you think is the threshold that it becomes too large to be convenient?
mmm yes i like 6mpg and owning an asset that depriciates like toilet paper but also stinking it up beyond repair by dailying it
>>28596693If it's bigger than a large van.
>>28596798I lust for a mercedes sprinter or ford transit converted RV
This is basically driving a van. NBD
Where there is a will there is a way.
>>28596286>>28596693When I was longhaul OTR my bobtail semi truck was my daily driver, because the company paid for the fuel lmaoThat thing was taller than an RV (13'6) and as long as a van conversion
>>28596835Brave and valid
>>28596835>Trans Vanlmao
>>28596835And this is basically driving a truck.(which are cooler than vans and get more vagina)
>>28597066Rarely see people with campers that small though. 90% of the time they look more like this.
>>28597066Vans will get you a lot more pussy than any truck thanks to all the van life stuff on social media.
>>28597096The frame bending in half is due to crash regs. Trucks have the issue of having the bed slam into the cab at high speed crashes and causing secondary crash injuries, so automakers addressed it by engineering a failure point so that the two are separated by forcing them to pivot.It's a compromise primarily borne of using work trucks as commuter cars.
Top 5 motorhomes with the most aura.#5 Airstream Argosy
>>28596286GMC Motorhomes are so fucking cool, mostly because of the Toronado driveline. I never knew they only made like 10,000 and change of them.
>>28596286>mogs ur dailynothin personnel
>>28599305>I never knew they only made like 10,000 and change of them.The company that they based the initial design off, Revcon, kept making them for several more years afterwards. However, I think there are still less Revcons around than GMCs. They made some Revcons that were longer than any of the GMC models. Up to 34' I think.
>>28599344look at all that wasted length and space
>>28599351>has 4 rear wheels>is fwdbut y?
>>28599352your mom didn't think it was wasted length
>>28599352yehfifth wheels are alot easier to back up with, however im.o that one is not long enough to justify it. just get a truck camper.
>>28599358The ultimate experience is to just git gud and have a vehicle that is in the right sweet spot to be drive-able anywhere. Somewhere around the 26' to 34' length. That's when you're really motorhomin' for real.
I don't even want a RV to sleep in or go camping. The appeal to me is being able to drive like 2-3 hours away to visit friends and have a little apartment they can come out to visit me inside where we play video games without me having to fuck around with their home set-up or drag shit in to set up on their kitchen table. Like a mobile living room I can park in the drive-way and have everything set-up ready to go the second I get there. Or they can meet me half-way and make the drive a lot shorter for me while also getting out of the house for them.
>>28599344That's really cool.
>>28599363I do camp, however for me the appeal is equally split with the idea of it being an emergency backup home, for fleeing disaster or other unforeseen events.My previous home was lost to a forest fire.
>>28596286>>28596700Lol. Its a valiant effort at not living on the streets but youre actually in the street. You tell people that you are staying flexible and not tied down because you can chase those opportunities, that never pan out. Too strapped for cash keeping your beast running and street legal to leave the local area that you become a neighborhood fixture in the end
>>28596835Good god. This is 1979.
>>28599376>full-timinglmao

>>28597066Sorry, at no point is a truck cooler than a van. Trucks, real trucks, are utilitarian. They pick up cool points for care free bopping down the back roads, or up to no good having parties with the tailgate down. Not that pavement princess bullshit. Vans on the other hand are built to be cool, infinitely customizable to the owner's personality. They're at their best not moving at all. Nobody puts wall to wall carpet in a vehicle for practicality. It's creating an atmosphere. It's actually impossible to be upset driving a van. Take the vanpill and you'll never not have one again. Keep the truck; it's great for moving lumber or the deer you shot, but you'll wish you were driving your van.
>>28596286these class of campers are increasing in popularity here, they will fit in most city parking lots, can be daily driven/carry a load from ikea and since we dont have any laws against camping in a parking lot you can park right outside a restaurant, eat and drink yourself stumbling drunk then sleep it off right there and drive off the next day.
>>28596835Wonder how many hairy nasty gangbangs happened in the back of that pussy wagon.
>>28599473Some day friend, someday
>>28596286True. But it's stupid.>depreciates to nearly worthless within 10 years of being new>generally built like shit, prone to leaking and mold>abysmal fuel economy>difficult to work on due to the engine being buried, suspension being under a big heavy chassisA camper trailer and a pickup is a far better option.

>>28599353Maybe they didn't want it to have a 15 foot long driveshaft
>>28599353Too much weight for a single rear axle.
>>28602227If they're old they're likely snowbirds and already have a house they live in during the summer. For $250k a class C or a small class A and a towed vehicle would make a fuck of a lot more sense. That much for a Sprinter or a Promaster with a nice interior seems a little ridiculous. Sure it's easy to live with and can sort of go off road but that's some pretty bad value.
>>28599344>a fucking 4 cylinderYeah it's a Toyota engine, but a fucking 4 cylinder is hauling all that ass, my god.
>>28602227Just like any other vehicle the new price is a sucker buy.

my boomer father in law asked me to research about the new 'tesla motorhome' you'd need to sign up for one and pay 200€ upfront. Told him it's an cheap ai scam right away. Atleast he isn't gullible and asked me to do research for him if it's either real or fake and gay. 3 minutes of research revealed the later.cheap ai ads on facebook are the boomers greatest bane it seems lmao. nigerian prince on steroids
#2 GMC Conversion Van
>>28602931im traveling tradie, and at my current airbnb i started talking to some late 60 ish year old dude with a camper van, i thought it was another guest. turns out he was the previous owner of the place, he just handed it down to his son and bought a camper because he too was traveling tradie and had no need for a full time home now that he kicked out his wife and his kids was grown up. as long as his son kept a room available for him he didnt care, most of his carreer he had lived on site anyway.80k ford transit 4x4 camper and his job was restoration/historical stone masonry.if he fell for the bigger is better meme he could never afford it, 80k is in reach for most. im gonna become him soon.
>>28599486They also have a huge advantage compared to some fiberglass monstrosity. They're waterproof because it's the van shell with a couple extra windows. >>28599473Based. Also, out of all the cars I've had. Vans have been the only cars that women come and talk to me about. And try to invite themselves onto a ride to go camping.
>>28596286>house/apartment rent is a scam, taking 1,000's or 10,000$ a month from you forever.>van (when parked as a home) is FREE>FREE(just park in good open secure spots, maybe near hospital or something.)Sometimes I wonder why people don't care about freedom.

How to motorhome correctly:-no full-timing. always have a regular home. full-timing is for weirdos and crazy people.-never compromise with a tow vehicle or runabout vehicle other than a bicycle. If you can't drive the motorhome to where you want to go then you need to eithera. git gudb. you don't need to go there that badly right now anyway-camper trailers are for people who can't git gud or don't want to commit. Go big or go home. -you don't monetize your motorhoming. YOU DON'T MONETIZE YOUR MOTORHOMING. YOU ARE ON VACATION. VA-CA-TION. Unless you're at work doing something unrelated to RVs like working on scientific research in the field or what-have-you, then you're really cool.
I took the motorhome pill and live in this thing while working full time at a warehouse. I’m too cheap to pay rent and just stay in the parking lot after work unless I have plans. I’m always on time for my shift, and wake up 15 minutes before work. There’s rust on the frame, I need to try and treat it if possible.
>>28609294so what's your monthly expense vs an apartment?
>>28609315I spend about 500 a month in gas to putter around town. My insurance is 81 bucks a month. Along with money saved for maintenance and registration, I would say it’s about a grand a month.
>>28609294I used to have a roadtrek. Mine was a dodge though. Really not too bad to live in especially if you enjoy lounging in bed on a laptop.
>>28609168How to motor home correctly:Full time with remote work
>>28610442>How to motor home correctly:>Full time (minus winter), on welfare and parked at your parents house most the time so you can enjoy regular shit and shower.
>>28602495You can make a 4cl move a cargo ship
>>28610589Honestly 3cyl is all you need son, and it results in a boost to your eco.
>>28596854The real answer is to not get a motorhome but instead get a semi with an extended frame and apartment sleeper mounted on the frame instead of a fifthwheel.
>>28610678Too hard to park at Walmart®
>>28610678ok... that is a motorhome. Without the hitch it's not a semi. Semi means half a truck
>>28610786>>28610678they do however sell extended semis with bathrooms and kitchen
>>28610602Engine design peaked at the single cylinder
>>28610494>regular shit and shower.Isn't being able to have that the entire reason for a motorhome? I mean you can sit, sleep and even install a somewhat functional kitchen in a regular car, but for those two you need decent height and water supply, heating and drainage/storage.
>>28611492RV toilets are not comfy, the bowl is too smoll. your dick gets mushed against the front and your shit gets smeared down the backand then falls forward onto your dick. Dealing with a black tank is also gross.As for the shower, it is also too smoll,ive never been in one of suitable size for a grown man to use. (though i am also quiet tall, 6' 4")
>>28611533To add;Despite being in and out of rv;s my whole life (my father made his career out of them) i have only actually had a handful of showers in them. issue being that a shower uses too much water to be having them without hookups.
>>28611533>>28611539Thanks. Never tried RVs, thought of them like land yachts since there's a significant overlap between them in interior design and equipment, and actual sailboat bathrooms (about 35-50 feet) are surprisingly kind of okay.
