Considering selling the fifth wheel for an RV. Anyone use one? I priced renting one. $150-200/day (or more). Seems $0.35/mile is what they charge over the 100 miles per day allowed. Generator they allow 4hrs and then charge for every hour beyond. So if we go to Yellowstone we are looking at 11 days and 3200 miles just to get there and back. Plus sight seeing. Seems you can buy a decent one 18-22yrs old for $10-15k and up. I'm half considering buying one and renting it when we are not using it. Running a spreadsheet to see how it pans out. Just thinking out loud.
Looking for first hand experience of anyone who owns one or has used one. How big a pain are they to drive? Outside of general camper things and vehicle things to look at. . .anything else I should look for? I would check brakes, tires, belts, roof, look for leaks, and go over all the appliances/AC/generator/etc.
