Hey you secular RV'ers... post me some cons of RVing. I know a lot of the pros but I'm thinking about giving this a go now that I'm retired and I just sold my house. I think forewarned is forearmed.

Tell me what the down side is, pitfalls to avoid and so forth.

Have a friend at work that he and his wife are in love with the lifestyle. Is there any money to be saved by RV'ing vs. hotels, from my investigating no. But the pro's for me are; your own clean bed that only you have slept in. You eat what you prepare. Less is more...no more filling the attic and garage with junk you don't "need". The negatives; If a person has little common sense...RV'ing is not for you. If you are not a person that is "attention" detailed (trailer inspection, vehicle inspection etc.), this lifestyle will break the bank. You need to be pro-active not reactive. If you don't have street smarts...you can invite or expose yourself to trouble. Buying the wrong truck / trailer combination will hurt if you by a pull behind. Buying a used trailer as been pointed out by another submitted comment is the way to go, but having someone that is anal retentive inspect the trailer for you before you commit is the only way to avoid a lemon.

For "me" yes they are more money and have their negatives, but I prefer a Airstream. They hold their value. [airstreamclassifieds.com]

Only real advantage (imo) is with rving you can keep are your stuff with you , and go when ever, wherever you want.. it will not save you money.

The depreciation is very high on new ones.. like REALLY BAD .. better off buying a used one that has a good roof and frame.. everything can be replaced , but a new roof is like 10 grand (with no water damage)
