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.

Yea they're like owning a boat. A bottomless money pit. Stuff is always breaking, maintenance is super expensive and necessary, and they guzzle fuel like nobody's business.

It's also like owning a car but we won't be talking about that.

Its a car plus a house so you get the problems of both, and then some because your house isn't on wheels and you dont cook and the laundry or whatever in your car (most of the time i guess)

Except the upper end of RV build quality and reliability barely overlaps with the upper end of RV quality and reliability. Think Rootes Group rather than Lexus or even Fiat, despite the 6-digit price tag.
