When they refer to a $100K RV, they're typically speaking of one sitting on a BUS chassis so the numbers do work out. Our family purchased one of these four years ago (when diesel was still $1.50 / gallon in some parts of the country) and have enjoyed traveling in comfort for relatively little expense. This past month we traveled cross-country (California to New York) visiting 17 states and Canada. Our largest expense was the vehicle itself, but a close second was the $4,200 in diesel.
RV'ing is a growing industry. If makers are going to continue selling these traveling homes, they're going to have to do something about fuel economy or offer a new, less expensive, source of power. The alternative is to continue to cater to only those who have very deep pockets. I don't like paying $5.00/gallon or more for fuel, but it will help all of us adjust our behaviors, and perhaps attitudes, regarding alternative energy.
