Motor home fillup...........

bgjohn
When I gassed up this morning I saw a motor home filling up. When he left I saw that the pump indicated that he paid $333 to fill up. Wow! He didn't bat an eye. There are many people in this world that are richer than me.

    If you have to own a motorhome,power boat, sailboat, airplane or gun collection you find a way to do it and pay the price.
    Involvement in any of these hobbies rarely generates a positive cash flow so don't view it in those terms.

    try this on gas this summer up here was just over $4.00 a gallon to fill my truck and boat up with gas when both where on empty cost me $350 need less to say the boat didn't go much this year unless had someone along to pay for gas or at least split it.

    I just bought 150 gallons of fuel oil for the house, and paid $483, and that just fills the tank half way full.[:(!]

    If you can live the life of a full timer motorhome camper, and those we've interviewed liked it, it can be pretty economical compared to renting or home ownership.

    Its fun for a while, then you get tired of not having a home base and all the parks start looking alike.

    I did it in 1979. Lived in my motor home for six months and traveled the country. Gas was about 62 cents a gallon when I left Florida. It was over $1 a gallon when I got stranded in California during the first gas crunch. But it was fun for a while and I am glad I did it.

    Today the cost of gas, the motorhome, and the hookups makes it a hobby for the wealthy. It is much cheaper to go by car or plane and stay in a first class hotel.

    I have a motorhome, got a Cat 3116 and a 100 gallon fuel tank. It gets about 12 miles to the gallon. Don't take it out for a Sunday ride but use it for business and vacations. When you figure how much I save in not paying motel bills and not eating out, it does start making economical sense.

    My daughter's boat requires over 700 dollars for a fill-up (2 huge V-8's in it, with the gas lines looking 3/4ths inches in diameter).

    But, you know they say about boats, right? "A boat is a hole in the water, into which you throw your money".
