Scratch another one off my bucket list.
After much soul searching and back & forth conversations, we've decided to sell the motorhome and move on to bigger and better things. I've always wanted one, but never had one, so with flights, cruises and hotels shut down during Covid, it seemed like a no brainer. Now that travel has opened up, it's time to check it off my bucket list and move it over to the "been there, done that" column. I'll miss it in a lot of ways, in others I won't. We REALLY enjoy cruising, but with motorhome payments, it pretty much cramps our style. Why pay to travel if the motorhome is sitting in the driveway depreciating? If you're not using it, you're throwing money into a bottomless pit. I don't even think I'm going to go through the hassle of advertising or showing it to all the looky-loo's, etc ... I'll prolly just sell it to a dealer and take a loss, like any other motorized vehicle you've only had for a bit over 2 years. We had fun and that's all that matters at this point in my life. So, I'm assuming by this time next week, it'll go into the memories bracket.
Scratch another one off my bucket list.
The trick was to buy pre-Covid and sell during Covid. When travel shut down, everybody and everybody’s brother bought a camper/motorhome as a workaround. Prices went through the roof as the old supply and demand thing kicked in. I bought when prices were up in the ozone layer. Now that travel has opened up, the market is tanking since those who bought during Covid are now moving on and dumping their campers, flooding the market and lowering resale. Story of my life.
Like the used car market during the new car chip shortage. If you had an extra car sitting around, you could dump your hoopty for close to what you paid for it new. I did that with my Tacoma. I paid $31K for it in 2015, then sold it for $30K in 2021.
Not all doom and gloom, we had a blast during the run, but I’m ready to move on. Cruise ships are cruising and we love being aboard one! [emoji106]
