Then do a direct payment from your bank account for the motor home. This way, you are only withdrawing a minimum amount every year and it keeps the taxes very low and your money should grow more than enough to cover the payments so you never miss it. Our house is like we got it for free. Hope this helps.
Somehow, when you say you got it for "free," it just seems like that's too good to be true in the real world and that, over time, it will not prove to be the case.
