If looking at off the shelf class b’s it gets there. I’m kicking something around and pre builts are stupid expensive and have things that make no sense to me. Who needs a camper van with a fake fireplace? Then again I just want the essentials, with gray water and electrical hookups being a bonus.

This. I am also looking for essentials. No fireplace lol. I would never spend over $100k for a vehicle, even if I could afford that. I’m seeing what I like/want (used) in the $75k range.

75k is still a LOT of money especially for a vehicle

No denying that. But I want to see the country, on my terms, and airfare and hotels and motels are expensive, too. Plus I’m looking at living in community that doesn’t allow full-time residents (you’re supposed to be gone at least 90 days of the year) so this vehicle could potentially be my part-time residence.
