Getting into RV ownership

[HNL2LHC]

This is exactly what I am thinking. And the rest of my family all has RV's so it will be much easier for all the cousins to do and make memories together.

This is the first thing that came to mind…any relations?

I don't see how its going to be more than $5k with the condition that it is in.

Tents SUCK to camp in in the desert. Specially with little kids (the majority of the camping we would be doing). This includes pop-ups. The only thing they offer over a tent is a little bit of ease, some cooking equipment, and MAYBE a tiny bathroom. But to get one large enough for all of us with a bathroom, I'd be looking at close to the same price. Then I would have an RV that none of us want to be in on half of the trips and one I cannot use and take my boat anywhere.

Sorry, but the RDP mentality of "its not worth the headache. Just buy something that is 10x the price" doesn't work for me.

My theory is if you are having fun you are doing it right. I by far have the oldest/cheapest stuff out of the group I go with but I am having just as much fun as them.

I say give it a go, make memories! Just be careful on the repairs/fixes so that you do not turn around and have $10,000 into a "free rv"
