I'm just now realizing how expensive this "other life" is now that we've had our motorhome a couple of months, so all of you that are "on the fence" about buying a used Motorhome, here's my experience thus far.
After what I thought was a thorough inspection, I get a good look at the inside rear tires, they are beyond serviceable. The front tires are new, but all 4 rear will need replacing. Quoted price...$1100. The ad valorem tax we had to pay to get a tag was $475, Previous owner says he got 10-12 mpg. After our first trip of 60 miles one way, we got 5.1 mpg, but we were pulling a trailer with 2 motorcycles.
The State parks here in Georgia are beautiful, but will cost you $32 per night IF you can find a spot. This to me is price gouging, and think a fair price should be no more than $20 per night. My propane tank reads just above 1/4, and I'm not sure how much it holds, but was quoted 3-4 dollars per pound. We live quite close to Atlanta raceway and Talladega raceway, but their prices are well over $300 per weekend. Whether we love this hobby enough to keep paying thru the nose is yet to be determined, The motorhome is very nice, and I love working on it, so we'll see!
