^ I love that thing!

I only pointed it out because I've done some cost analysis on my own RV vs car + room for trips and that is only for the operating costs (fuel + food and such) not purchase/maint/repair. For shorter length of time trips the car wins by a huge margin but at some point IIRC well over a month long the RV started to save a bit of money.

I was mathing out several RV things at the time; another was what would the payback on a Gear Vendors OD and/or a diesel conversion be? The answer was many, many miles would have to be put on annually for it to pay off.
