I own half of a 2006 Jayco Seneca. My parents own the other half. It is a diesel with 2 slide-outs and it pulls my race car trailer.

It's great to have at the track.

The problem is, owning an RV is a hobby. You need to expect a huge investment in time and money to keep it running. It is not cheaper than a hotel. You can fly anywhere and stay in hotels for cheaper than owing/operating an RV.

Imagine your house...something ALWAYS needs fixing. Now imagine miniaturizing that house and moving it all over. Much more stuff to break, go wrong, etc. Warranties are nice until you realize EVERYONE who bought XYZ kind of RV has to go to ONE shop in your area to get all the little things fixed. You'll end up doing much of it on your own unless you want to have the thing in the shop 6 months out of the year.

If you are retired like my parents, the RV can be your hobby. It's defintely fun if you have the time and pateince to own one.
