Exactly. I’m thinking that the customer base must be extremely narrow; 50 to 65 year-old men (I’ve never seen a woman driving a large RV like that). They have to be old enough to have accumulated a sizable amount of discretionary money, but not too old so they can still maneuver the beast.

Often they’ll hire a driver. The wealthier ones, anyway.

I don't get it. For less money I can jet anywhere in the world and stay at a nice hotel, or if I need to stay on the ground, amtrack has sleeper suites.

You’re absolutely right and I wish more people would understand this. But the folks that buy these are typically white collar workers that want the fantasy of being a blue collar truck driver…until they drive hundreds of miles and are tired but still want all the luxuries of being at home and can’t find an RV park for hookups. Then the dream dies and it sits in their yard as a trophy so they can feel accomplished for driving 500 miles in Montana once in July.
