re: Sold motor home after 12 years, costs explained

According to his post, total costs were around $170k.

$170k/1000 days = $170/night

That’s with 67k miles, so presumably 150-180 days of 8-hour drives.

Over twelve years, that is a lot. Roughly 2.75 of those 12 years living out of the camper (averaged).

I would think many are lucky to get 30 days/year out of an RV (besides a hunting camp), so, best case with cash purchase of $95k and selling it for the full $30k, and $15k in gasoline, that’s $222/night.

Now do the current price of $195k and the above, assuming you can sell it for $60k in 12 years. That’s $415/night!
