How much truth is there to the joke that RV stands for Ruins Vacations?
>>29031316Why would they? They're supposed to make "camping" more enjoyable for people who don't like camping. If they're well maintained and taken care of they probably won't let you down. Now if you keep your travel trailer in storage for 11 months out of the year and go on a trip with flat spotted tires and wheel bearings that have never been serviced then you might run into some turmoil. Motorhomes live brutal lives and nobody aside from RV dealerships will touch them when they break. Breakdowns will happen on even brand new motorhomes and that only gets worse the older they get.
>>29031316Things are a fucking money pit. Never buy this shit, just rent.
These things are insane. They run $150k and you have to finance them at like 15%, then they start to break down and get mold immediately. If you stayed at a 4 seasons every year for 2 weeks long vacation for the rest of your life you would not spend as much as you would on an RV.
They're great to watch when the driver has absolutely no business being behind the wheel of something that big or bigger.
>>29031316depends on the vacations you upstairsusually take. if you're camping or together anyway, or only crashing at a hotel after an event then getting right back out, then they're great. if you're going to destinations where the place is part of the experience they'll be disappointing
>>29031316They're fucking stupid.Especially the absurdly huge ones.The point of camping is making do with less than what you normally would at home, that's the fun.
>>29031316I have a few friends who bought used ones from the 90s-00s.Around $10K.Idk if they made mistakes or not.Not it'd me nice to avoid staying in questionable hotel rooms.
>>29031316Good when you're on the move or a road trip, bad when you go to a destination and want to camp there.In that case a trailer has the advantage that you can still use your car for excursions or shopping trips.
>>29031316Keep up your maintenance.
>>29032046You pretty much need to tow another vehicle with even the larger class C's which seems a little pointless when you could just use a truck and trailer.
>>29031469"Camping" is fucking retarded.Why would I want to "vacation" and live in sone primitive environment our ancestors left behind thousands of years ago?Im rolling into the dunes with a 35 footer that has 4 popouts and living comfortably with A/C when I take a break from my Banshee.
>>29032380Sometimes the location is everything.It's best if you can stand to be in the same room as the people you are holidaying with.
>>29031316What's the mpg on this thing?
>>29032427Probably 8-12mpg. Pretty much all class C motorhomes are gassers and they're thirsty.
>>29032380to relax.
>>29032435>drive to nearest grocery store>MY MONEY AAAAAA
>>29032444I can do that on my porch
>>29032380This is your brain on Oil Addiction
>>29032451not everyone lives in a quiet fly over whogivesafuck maga town like you.
>>29031469They aren't for camping, they're for touring the west. They serve no other purpose besides driving to every western state and enjoying the road in a moving apartment.
>>29032574Tell us about your urban, crime infested hellscape thats so heckin vibrant and diverse and how having your car broken into every month is totally worth it for the amazing food....
The point of RVs is to have such a bad vacation that going back to work feels like a vacation
>>29032453I have no issue with electric versions.I just personally dont believe the infrastructure is there yet.The next breakthrough in solar panels might mean I can drive to the dunes and be self sufficient for a weekend.When we get there ill embrace it.But it wont be tomorrow so my 2smoke4life sticker stays for now.
>>29032659sure i have a custom built home on a dead end street in a city with a median income of 92k and a crime rate between 0.31 to 0.47 out of 1000 and was ranked safest city in america in 2019. in 2025 according to U.S. News & World Report it is the 9th best county to live in in america out of 3,244 counties. i have a second house two cities over where the median income is 153k.
>>29032720>truth hurts so much he retreats into a fantasy realm to cope.
>>29032726thanks for the compliment. not everyone on the internet is broke. good luck.
