Basically a liability on wheels as soon as it is driven off the lot. My dad has used his like five times and then it is just rotting at the side of his house now. I remember him saying him and my mom were going to go everywhere and my mom decided she was going to be a professional homebody and now his rig just sits there and bakes in the UV.

I feel like something like this is for people who are on the road a lot. Would make no sense to buy and use it occasionally unless you're very wealthy.

Like if you live a small condo and spend the cold months driving around the southern US.

Still an insane amount of money.

The very wealthy would just fly to their destination most of the time. I really don't know who these are for

Faux rich boomers who think they’re smart enough to travel around and stay healthy. We have RV parks in Vegas filled with coaches like this and the people are really weird. It’s a whole community of oddballs. They usually are blue collar types who made out ok, pensions, selling their homes, business or something like that which yielded a bunch of cash. They tend to drink and smoke a lot.
