One of our early road trips in our first rv we were sitting around the campfire visiting with some full timers. One of the guys said the thing he likes about living in his rv is he can change the view out his windows anytime he wants. He also said if he doesn't like his neighbors he turns the key and leaves. Can't do that with a lake place. He has a pretty good point here.
Some family members of mine have lake places. Want to go to the lake this weekend? Sure, you can help put the dock in, take it out, mow the lawn, rake the leaves, paint the garage, fix the gutters, cut down the dead tree (this is about the only thing I enjoy doing so maybe I shouldn't have put this one in), etc....

Gil, to answer your question on resale value-
These units have the best resale value out there. You are correct, after a few years of small depreciation- they maintain value. I have seen 2001-2003 Renegades increase in value. I use my 2006 Chevy Dually as an example, and they have very good resale value. I have seen 2006 Renegade or Showhauler motorhomes lose less in dollars (not percentage) than my dually after 5 years. Bob
