OK. Not trying to be confrontational or critical. I just don't get it.
Many of you will buy some poor, sad TT or van and pour years of money and sweat into rebuilding it, all the time paying rent, utilities, renter's insurance, etc. Some of you do beautiful work, some not so much.
Why do people prefer to do this rather than buying a newer model in better condition that already is set up for living? I don't mean run out and buy a brand new Roadtrek, but I see so many good used vehicles out there for decent prices that one could park at a local CG and pay off in a year or two while actually living the lifestyle, maybe making a tweak here or there, but not completely rebuilding the thing!
I know there are some here who are on half a shoestring and they have no choice. But I don't know why the others put themselves thru that.
