I've read that many full-timers recommend a diesel "pusher" type of Class-A - the engine is in the back.
Anyone have experience with those?
Dad's boss owned a Newell. For years. Very dependable, diesel pusher.
If you want to go First Class....

$1.6M
That's more than I make in 2 years!
Who wants used? $2.15M for ready to roll, new.
But hey, if I was buying, might as well be custom. This is too jazzy for me...

You could stay in a lot of really swanky hotels before you'd spent $2 million, plus you wouldn't have to clean out your own septic tank.

A suite at the Ritz Carlton....about $750 a night, let's say.
$2,000,000/750 = about 7.4 years.
Of course, room service and tips are extra.

You could stay at Hill Top Farm, complete with libidinous farmer's daughter, for decades.
I guess it would get old, eventually

For fifty grand you could get blown in a jet and you'd definitely notice.

I got a great massage from a tall blond stewardess in first class one night. Probably as close as I’ll get to that.

I have always thought a 5th wheel and truck made the most sense. If looked after, the trailer unit keeps its value longer over time. A well maintained 3/4 or 1 ton truck also have a decent used vehicle market value. The same cannot be said for RVs.
Having said that, my preference would be always be a truck bed camper. I sold my camper this year for exactly what I paid for it 24 years ago. I still have the 3/4 ton 4X4 long box truck.

Take the $2,000,000 and invest it at a nice safe 5% then use the $100k in interest to live in an all inclusive resort in the Bahamas indefinitely.

Any form of living that doesn't have enough space for a decent grand piano is not for me.
Seriously, though: If I'd want to go on vacation for a year, I'd take a normal car and rent houses/apartments/... as needed. Much more comfortable. I've rented a trailer for a vacation a few years ago. It was a "never again" experience. The things that annoyed me most would be the same in an RV, even when it's a $2M RV.
