[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 285609, member: 6546"] MWM-- My first instinct upon hearing your question is to tell you NOT to buy it....because you are going to have to go out and buy a large vehicle to tow it. Yes, you can find campsites for as little as $10/night. But that might be offset by your expenses. Does your state require registration and insurance on the RV? Not sure about other upkeep issues that you might be affected by....you may/may not have to rent storage for your RV depending where you live. Plus, your towing vehicle will use a lot more gas when you add the trailer. If you are truly paycheck to paycheck....I don't see any "savings" gained from this purchase. We are a "paycheck-to-paycheck" family ourselves...and FWIW I would not buy the RV. We have a large tent that we take camping to the state parks....and we go with friends and groups in order to get groups rates on our campouts. That's about the only vacation we have had in a while.
