Don’t forget property tax to your city or town, I just sent out a check to my town for $2600.00+ for 2012 tax year, I hate paying taxes on something I already paid for at time of purchase & have to continue to pay every year just because it is in my driveway.

Pardon my ignorance but why do you have to pay tax on that?

Actually in Mass it is called an excise tax. If we were lucky they would call it a property tax and we could write it off but we can't write off an excise tax. Taxachussettes where everything the state can charge you is as big as Texas.

I hate to tell you this but the costs never stop. It is just like owning a house, car, boat, or whatever. It is best to just use and enjoy it. What I tell everyone who asks me about a large purchase is to buy the one that makes you happy because you will pay for it weather your happy or not. We love ours and can't wait to get out and use it.

Are you just fishing, or do you have a particular unit in mind? Do you plan on buying a motorhome soon?

I’m glad to see insurance made the top of your list. Just a suggestion, get an AARP RV insurance quote. You have to be 50 or over to get into the AARP but their discounts are really competitive since they get cheaper group rates from The Hartford.
