An rv is a diisposable income thing.
Dont do averages or median.
Do your income.
Averages and median include welfare and rockefellers.

The long past pricing of anything is an excuse type notion.
This thread is about the joy of not needing an excuse to not use your RV. |
That was 'similarly equipped' or at least very close to it within a few hundred dollars. There is no way it would double the price....
Finding wage and pricing info from 1986 isn't the easiest thing, but hey here it goes....
GS-11 Engineer 1985 - 34,348
GS-11 Engineer 2021 - 55,756
So a mid career Engineer should be making a cool 193k now.... What can I say, sign me up!
I am not a GS-11 Engineer, but that seems a decently fair way to compare wages from one time to another.

That doesn't take away from the fact that camping is still awesome, and a worthwhile thing to do with family.
