Summary

I think RVs are awesome. In fact, my family just got back from a very fun 2-week RV trip last week!

But, RVs can also be a major money drain. Much like boats, it's easy to overestimate the pleasure you will get from it and underestimate the hassle.

In today's show, I share with you some of my ideas and thoughts on RVs:

  • Where they work and where they don't
  • Things to consider and keep in mind before you buy
  • Advantages and disadvantages of the various types
  • Tips for buying smart

Enjoy the show!
