RVing vs Vacation Property

[Trailer Trash]

We have been exploring replacing our 2018 Montana High Country 310RE and are a bit shocked by prices of new 5th wheels across the industry. I shouldn't be surprised that prices have gone up since everything else has risen but it's still a shock. For those that buy large motorhomes the price has always been equal to or greater than buying many vacation property options but the gap between buying a new 5th wheel and a vacation property has significantly narrowed over the past couple of years. Here in Canada our new Chev 2500HD Duramax is coming in at $110,000 Cdn, add a new 5th wheel at pick a number between $125,000 - $150,000 and your total is a cool $250,000 for the combo. The annual cost of wintering in Florida in RV resorts and the annual operating costs of a vacation property are roughly the same so when the gap narrows between depreciating assets such as trucks & RV's vs a worst case scenario of a vacation property selling in the future at at least what you paid for it, it causes us to really think about how to move forward. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
