We are using our second rpod and our second tow vehicle. Our original rpod was purchased used and about half the price of a new one. We used it for almost 6 years and loved it. We travelled cross country east to west and north to south. We put over 35.000 miles on it.
We finally figured out we like that kind of travel!!! So we bought our second rpod late last fall on the way back from our 3 month trip. It also was used.
Both rpods that we bought were so lightly used that they could almost be new. In one case, people bought them and decided they didn’t like rving and it was too much trouble. The newer rpod was sold because the people immediately loved rving, but bought a huge
Our first tow vehicle was a daily driver, chevy astro van. Used it for 2 years and decided we like long distance travel so bought a ford expedition el. Bought it used(30,000 miles). Still going strong at 85,000.
My point is you don’t have to invest in all new - try the rv thing with a good condition used unit and a good used tow vehicle. See if you like it and then one at a time replace the rpod with a newer model and ma ybe a different floor plan. Same thing with the the tow vehicle. Spread the cash outlay out a little.
You may not like it as much as you think. Then the “mistake cost” is much lower. But, you probably will like it. So a trial period will also show you more of what you really like and dislike about whatever you initially buy.
Good luck
