WHY YOU SHOULD NOT BUY A RV - 7 REASONS

[label]

Everyone told my parents not to buy an RV in 1989... they did not listen...It was the best decision of their life. They spent 19 years touring Canada and the USA. It defined them. They are both gone now, I plan to follow their path.

It's not an investment it's a lifestyle. If you like staying at home seeing how much money you have in the bank makes you happy . Not me. I say you only live once make memories.

I work for a self serve storage company. We store your albatross 11.5 months out of the year. Its between 200 and 400 a month if you want it garaged.

Thank you sir! In my opinion we need more of this, “Honesty is the best policy “ once that RV comes off the lot, they don’t care anymore. Thank you for making people Accountable for there choices. Right on!

I say go for it as you could be gone any moment. Having memories is more important than money.

Andrew all of your reasons are valid. We just sold an older Newmar MountainAire that we enjoyed part time for 6 years. It’s a lot of fun when the kids and pets can go along. But when it gets to sit for 6 months at a time it’s time to sell. Same thing goes for boats. Thank you for your videos and for your honesty. 👍🏻😎

Some great advice, especially about having your spouse "on board" and being realistic about having time to actually go out and enjoy the RV.

Brother - You are rock solid. My wife even enjoys your videos. Why do I say that? Because I obsess over something like a zillion hobbies and she indulges me. However, you are thoroughly informative and entertaining at the same time.

Thanks for the content and all the best to you on your journey!

Bottom line: If you have the desire, $ and time, buy a used quality coach for cash. Maintain it well and enjoy your travels!

Good advice for those thinking of trying out RVing for the short or long term. One should weight all the pros and cons before leaping. Wonderfull video Andrew.

My husband is a master Mobile RV technician. 20 yrs of service. $100 is cheap. He charges that
but that includes diagnostics. Most techs charge that for just showing up. We live in Galveston county TX. If you’re in an RV PARK, ask at the office who they would recommend. We have RV parks popping up like crazy. Many are foreign owned. We’ve been RVing for 30 years. We love it!!

I agree with you, I do own Class A, 36 feet. I love and enjoy my Rv. Yes it is expensive, but I can afford it. I know well how to travel, over 35 years experience, we learned. I’m also very handy man, so it helps a lot. Rving is not for everyone. Great review.

Your reasons are logically correct. Attractive RVs' YouTube ads trap people to buy them. But they really cost a lot of money and finally end up in a loss of money.

[iteotwawkiaiff]

All valid points! I hate to poopoo the RV lifestyle though.
I bought a 20 year old coach, it’s paid for, and I love it. But I also have had to spend money to fix things. It’s no Prevost but it’s nice and it gets me out camping.

[bigbandguru]

We have had over 20 motor homes. (Once in the rental business) but there are some general rules. What we have realized is that the bigger the more problems. And when you are buying the dealer won’t tell you about the strange items that cost lots to repair or to find someone able to repair a problem... For the general RVer buy a class C used first. Those chassis are less troublesome. But in general things are built to fall apart...

I love having an rv. The freedom to come and go wherever you want, not worrying about Covid 19 because I don't have to be around others. BLM land and Forest service areas are free camping in beautiful areas. If you don't use it a lot then it isn't worth it financially. But worth it in relaxation, freedom, and enjoying life. I have a class b rv, sold my class c for the b and I love it so much. Great gas mileage and can park anywhere.

[tedsommer]

I plan buying a used Class A and tour the country. Plus I'm one would like to outfit a ruif with enough solar and battery bank to boondock more than anything. Great insight Andrew!

[biingjyh]

To rent it first, then make a decision to buy if you really want it.

[BEACHBALL]

Thank You Andrew. You made very very very great points.

[lotony]

There are plenty of older RVs that are sub 40k that are more enjoyable and cost friendly for all us poor boys. Plus they are so much easier to work on yourself. Andrew makes all the right points. Most are expensive toys for the rich boys LOL.
