Here is Why You Must be INSANE to buy an RV These Days, Steve Lehto

[BelgianPup]

You and everyone else…. And people keep buying the crap… I’m just saying in my book it’s criminal and irresponsible… that they build them so poorly. Most people are lucky to get a vacation out of one the first year! And to make people sign something that says no warranty basically says you’re buying from people that want to destroy an already crappy industry.

And they KNOW it's crap!

Ahaha....even Bob is getting rid of his ambulance now and done with it!
Said its a money pit that keep breaking down.

Specifically he bought a diesel engine GM truck that's new enough to have the gaudawful emissions crap, and that is what gave him trouble. A gas engine would have been fine... probably. He had a gas GM van earlier and he loved it. No idea why he switched.

I agree a small camper trailer with a reliable tow vehicle are about as easy as it gets unless you are of the few that are long term backpackers used to living in a small tent or tarp then a basic van works as a steel tent with few compromises.

I don't think Bob is "nomad vehicle dweller" so much any more. He has a son in AK that he gets along with well, and he likes to go up there for summer, and has land that he uses in spring and fall.
