Good you put this question on the forum. We have never owned a motorhome but we rented a couple of times. It seemed expensive to rent at the time but as the above says it is cheaper than owning. We rented a 26 foot once and it seemed like we were flying at 55 mph.

I don't think I would want to travel too far in one unless you have lots of time available. Four hours max was about right for me as a typical day of driving otherwise it became a chore. Serviced camp sites seem to be expensive for rv's.

It was a good experiment. We took our young daughter and it seemed to rain a lot and be cold so we spent a lot of time in the rv. Plus when I was snoring in the rv I was not very popular. So ended up staying in the Jasper Park Lodge with the rv parked outside for a couple of days. Yes expensive but did not love it enough to buy one. We do like staying in hotels as a preference because then the rooms are made up and don't have to cook.

Yes to summarize I would suggest start to rent to see how you like it. Oh yes rv's having a big flat front end getting covered in bugs. Plus dumping the waste etc . And if you own one where do you park it?
