Moving into an RV may seem like a way to save money, but it can come with unexpected costs and trap families in a cycle of debt.

    I feel the article may have actually meant trailers or campers. RVs are expensive and become a pain to maintain and fix especially if it’s a shitbox already.

      No, most of the people listed in the article have RVs. One of them ended up with a blown engine and needed $10k to fix it, but still owed $500/mo for payments.

      Looking at our local RV camps, I don’t think maintenance is a priority. Just had to move far enough when the city pushes them around.

      I’ll note (I haven’t read the article yet; going to do) lots here live in RV’s but have a second car for travel/work. Many of those second cars are better than my daily driver.
