but campers are basically junk bolted to two axles.
I have never owned a camper but have worked on quite a few. And since I have worked on quite a few I will never own one.
They certainly seem overpriced. But most luxury goods are overpriced, based on a functional standpoint. If you can afford it, and enjoy it, then go for it. I just can't see paying 50k for 10k worth of particle board and vinyl trim.
