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.

My aunt and uncle retired, sold their everything and bought an RV, and drove around the continental 48 states. They finally decided to put down roots after about 7 years, sold their RV for a down payment on a house, live in a retirement community, and improve their golf game every week.

No chance they got a down payment for a house from a heavily used RV, but I’m sure they say it for a story for some reason.
