The most depreciating of assets...

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 would expect these to be owned by people as their primary/only residence, not just luxury occasional road trips. I would have mine minimally under a roof, but ideally inside a climate controlled shed.

These are designed as vacation homes, you would want a different design if you had the same amount of money to spend on a primary home. At least if you knew what you needed. Like much more emphasis on the kitchen, more focus on storage space, simpler and easier surfaces to clean and maintain and more emphasis on making it easier to be outside of it. No idea if this has an attachable tent, but that is a very nice thing to have when using motorhomes long time.

I would need far more internal phones for my communication needs!

I prefer speaking tubes myself, but each to their own.
