I don't get any of this. But I know that a lot of homeless people are living in these RVs on side-roads and country roads. They all look like junk too. So, these giant winnebagos don't seem to have much longevity.
It depends on the quality of materials it is built out of. An Airstream will last many times longer than a Winnebago. There are a lot of old Airstreams out there.
Been towing a bumper pull travel trailer for about 5 years now. From what I've seen, the more affordable models ($20-$40k) are weekend campers only, not suitable for any longer term use. Good enough for 3 or 4 weekends a year but God forbid you use it more often. I just spent a 4 day weekend doing some upkeep repairs on it. You "can" live in one, but it'll be falling apart in quick order, which is why the ones you see are pretty much parked permanently. It'd fall apart the minute you tried to tow it away. To get something good enough to live in, you'd be spending the equivalent of small house money. And yes, Airstream are supposedly the best. And at 5 years on my current model, I'm already planning a replacement in the next several years. The ten year rule most campsites have isn't necessarily unreasonable.
I always said no matter what it looks like on the out side as long as it has a good engine, brakes and tranni then I'd drive or ride in it, this mobile home will out last anything that is made today, just needs a new coat of paint.
1985 Beaver Motor Coach. Well worth the $6000 cash I paid for it. It was run-down but low miles, I fixed it back up and repainted it. I've lived in it 3 months at a time, no sweat! They don't build 'em like that any more, for sure. BTW, the original owner paid 123K for it back in 1985... I have the original Bill of Sale with the paperwork on it.
The wrap for this cost more than I paid for my bumper pull camp trailer. lol If you got it, flaunt it.
ReplyDeleteMy bet is that this guy does wraps for a living.

ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely hilarious. Mad props for anyone who goes to this length to teabag campground snobs.
I actually could hear him say that🤣

ReplyDeleteWe just got a 47ft Hatteras sport fishing boat in the yard with that stuff on it but in old beat up shrimp boat style. Not a fan.
ReplyDeleteIt’s funny to look at, but I’d never do that myself. I like my things to look nice.
DeleteBelieve it or not, most of the "high end" campgrounds won't let in "unsightly" campers or those vehicles that are more than ten years old...
