RV seems lux compared to these new transit van life people.

Both are insane. Stay in hotels weirdos.

I think part of the appeal of RVs or vans is to stay in places where there aren't hotels

Also weirdo to me but I'm not a nature guy. Crapping in a pot after I saved up my whole life to see dawn break over a mountain?

Driving in a car and staying in a hotel seems quite a bit more appealing.
I think we might be hindering this how to get rich thread, but a year of hotels seems pretty rough too. Every meal would be eating out which would get old and expensive. But definitely some cons to a motorhome also.
I once blew clove smoke in a guy's face that cut in front of me in the line to KJ's.

I might make a vinyl decal for whatever motorhome we get that says "no soggy eggs".

What if I  just live for a year in Buenos Aires? Would be cheaper and more enjoyable.

That sounds fun too. My dream life would be traveling 3 to 6 months per year outside the US.

There's a lot to see in the lower 48 too that I think we take for granted. Or at least I probably have.

i wouldn't buy one, but i'd be interested in spending a few months renting one.

I have a vague business relationship with basically every national RV rental company. There are some that specialize in basically nothing but German tourists who come over for like 2 month stretches and drive around the country. Also there are some that will give you one for free if you just drive it to Alaska for them. Not like to keep, but to do that drive to Alaska and make a trip out of it. Gotta get yourself home. It’s a wild deal. I would not do it but some people lose their mind for it. Also it’s obviously been a banner year for RV rentals.

I'm hoping the market gets flooded over the next year with used RVs.

The trip to Alaska could actually be pretty cool. As long as you don't camp in the wilderness and eat poison berries and die.

Like, SD, I have to ask, are you like one of those big Disneyworld fans like the dress up in cosplay?  I have a friend that went all in Disney and does this and I try not to judge but it seems very odd.

No, we do not do that. Or own Disney clothes or anything. And the kids aren’t really into Disney movies or characters and stuff anymore than a normal family. We just like Disney world.

It’s just an extremely worry free and streamlined and clean and well thought out experience if you do it right. And you don’t need to put kids in car seats the entire week. We’ll start to do other things more often and disney world less as the kids get older.
