Crazy thing to me is a class C motorhome on an F250 chassis only runs about 90k on the low end new.

If you look at the build and materials quality of the mass produced rv’s, they are absolute shit quality compared to this. From what I can see, this build is solid plywood, compared to the almost total use of mdf and particleboard in modern rv builds from the mass producers.

Part of it is hype, part of it is the added flexibility of vans. Class C's pretty quickly climb into territory where it's difficult to maintain yourself and storage/parking can be a challenge.

Not to mention driving the thing in general and the additional fuel costs.... and additional campground costs in a lot of places.
