My heart has wanted to own a motorhome for a long time, the freedom to travel and stop and sleep somewhat on demand without staying in a hotel seems very appealing. But every time my heart has a talk with my brain, the idea gets thrown out the window. The cost of the motor home, the maintenance, insurance, property taxes, storage, registration fees, winterization, fees to pump out grey and black water, etc...
Once my brain does the calculations, I figure we can stay in nice hotels on our trips for the rest of our lives, with no hassles of maintaining the motor home, and drive a nice car instead of a gas eating and poor handling home on wheels. And at the end of the day, we can stay in nice hotels until we are long since dead, and still safe lots of money.
My brain overrules my heart every time I consider the motor home.
