We just bought a new 28ft trailer for $18k out the door.saw some smaller ones that we could have got for $15k. It's no where close to the level of needing a 3/4 or 1 ton truck. Travel Trailer: A 25ft B+ is going to have interior space roughly equivalent to a 20-23ft travel trailer and could easily be pulled by a 1/2 ton truck. Even if you say you aren't going to pull a toad, you still need a car for at home (A $100k class A would be $128k with toad) Average new car price is $35k.let's say you downsize a bit and go $28k.that gives us a baseline of $100k for the motorhome option. Class B+ may be $72k but you presumably have a separate car. Now to your comparison.I question the comparison of costs you made (I'm using new prices as used prices have to many variables but like for like should follow a similar pattern): The box itself is a small part of the cost of an RV. If you look at all the parts, they are cramming all the same parts into a smaller package. And many don't stay in business, they make up a tiny percentage of the RV market. How in the world does the truck camper makers stay in business with these high prices. The BT cruiser class B+ new starts at $72,000 and has twice the room of most campers. I am planning on downsizing my class A to a B+ rv under 25 foot, was also looking at new trucks and a camper as a 2nd option, so with the price of a new F-250 to F-350 and a new camper with a slideout it would cost almost the same price as a new small class A motorhome, and now with covid.who wants to do that? Not me. It also depends on how much you use it.break down the cost of a trip with airfare, motel stays, car rentals, food etc. That is why we are here to talk about it. It is the demand for a product that governs the price.obviously truck campers are just that, in demand.That is why we have one, everyone wants one that has a truck and boondocks. A truck first is utility versatility and I would personally not have any use for an RV that sits as a one piece (A,B or C) TT maybe, but overall, it is the demand for the convenience.again you can go anywhere and are not limited to campgrounds or RV parks. It really boils down to how you want to Glamp. A TC is so awesome for it allows you to go anywhere.but the cost is pricey for how small they are. I have had 3 trucks and 4 campers.I finally made it to a dually(horse before the carriage) another subject but I can haul or pull anything now(I have every option).
