Lets call this part of the thread...
Motor-Homing on the Cheap
Where else would you expect to find a topic like “Motor-Homing on the Cheap” other than the Newell Guru where we discuss the most expensive coach's on the planet!
It should be pointed out that these expenses are not unique to Newell, they exist for any top of the line diesel pusher.
General cost of doing business...
• $8,000.00 ($800.00X8 tires - $250.00X8 batteries) replaced every 5 years (save $1,600.00 per year, $133.00 per month)
• $1,000.00 (oil, filters & diesel related items) $83.00 per month
• $1,000.00 (generator parts, filters etc) $83.00 per month
• $1,000.00 (hot water heater parts, filters etc) $83.00 per month
• $2,000.00 (general interior / exterior issues) $167.00 per month
• $5,730.00 (10,000 miles @ 6.75 MPG = 1,481 gallons @ $3.87 per gal) $477.62 per month
• $1,000.00 (misc. items and expenses) $83.00 per month.
• $1,109.00 per month could keep you on the road (not including any financing on the actual coach or dollars allocated to your Toad)
Oh, it may be a good idea to buy a coach to go along with the expenses. So you buy a $300,000.00 coach, put down $100,000.00 and have a $200,000.00 loan over 2o years at what, around 6% interest (if you can even get a loan for a coach over 10 years old).
What do you think,
