Will86 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I may be an odd character but my philosophy in life regards buying any product at whatever price is similar to gambling, do not spend the money unless you can afford to lose it. That's how it is in this house Believe no one and trust no one. And never believe what you read.. My view is that everyone is out to rook me of my dosh. There are no nice people selling nice things. Each and every one out there is aiming to become richer by making me poorer. So why do people want to even THINK about buying a box on wheels to live in (sometimes), or go park in a field. The whole idea is crazy. He's got one so why can't I have one? Mine is bigger than yours. The wife says Mrs T has a very posh one and I want one better than hers. Greed is the answer simple.

Guest JudgeMental Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 most of us own "leisure" vehicles..and have no interest in living in them, wrong forum for full timing info to be honest..Out of interest what is your tipple Will :-D I admire your financial attitude as its similar to mine...Walking around at shows seeing really naive, enthusiastic people, like kids in a candy store, admiring all the big shiny white boxes...Really need to look in on forums like this and engage the brains a bit more, before entering a world of grief that can sometimes accompany a rash purchase....and we just pick up the pieces :-S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Kirby Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 But then, Will, a house is merely a bigger box with no wheels. Discuss! :-D Not sure it's a motorhome matter, though. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
