    The old adage about the three "Fs" might apply to RV's as well.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        Although my friend found it impossible or ridiculously expensive to rent for a year. I forget which.

        He actually broke even on his sale, probably lucky timing.

          I broke even (roughly) owning 3 airplanes over a few years.

          But you can't put a price on the fun.

          Flying your plane all over the place is worth something.

              I very much doubt that as a 70 year old retiree I will walk into my newly acquired RV and find that inside.

                That bread seems racist.

                Education is extremely important.

                    I've got a couple friends that park them nearly year round at a local race track. They use their very little for actual traveling, so that cuts down on the maintenance. I must say, they do make for nicer than average porta-potties.

                    If living for months at a time at different locations were my thing, I'd just go for owning a small, cheap to maintain house/condo as a base, and travel as necessary. There seems to be no shortage of places to rent while traveling.

                    This is what I would like to do - slow travel thing. Have a home base that can be easily left, and then go somewhere, stay for as long as I like (weeks or months) and then go back to base or to another place.

                    Some friends of a friend are revamping an old school bus and turning it into a RV. I haven't seen there specifically, but there are some pretty cool revamps that people have done.

                    I will talk to my friend and see if they have any pictures of what they do so far.

                    Below is an example of one I have seen on the internet.

                      Usually, they don't have much insulation and you have problems staying warm or cool...
