Just remember that everyone buys what they need and want. Also, remember that every Airstream was, at one time, new and that someone had to pay that new trailer price.

Also keep in mind that a new Triton 21 foot bass boat with a 250 Mercury Verado will cost over $50K. In fact, the motor alone with controls will cost over $22K.

The high end market for any item (motorhome, trailers, etc.) is less sensitive to price than the mid to low end markets. When diesel was over $3 a gallon, the local Motorhome dealer was still selling the $500K units but the botton dropped out of his 80-150K market.

So buy what you like, your justification only has to satisfy you.

Jeff

good point jeff, everyone has their own personal threshold when it comes to plunking down the cash.

bottom line is get what you like, the justification is not needed here. just use it for our spouses!

i just wanted to add one more thing. IF i were to sell my house, the one my wife worships and keeps neat as a pin, a 100K airstream would not be enough. i have a feeling i would be hitting the road solo!

well i would still have my bike.

And I suspect, John, that your wife might continue to live in the same house . I suspect I would have the same issue. I expect I'd here her saying: Sure, go ahead, live on the road full time, and oh, by the way, drop me a note now and then and let me know how you are doing. Yep, it could get lonely out there. Oh sure, quiet and a bit less hectic, but definitely lonely eventually.
