What does a Winnebago cost these days?

New & Used RV prices below Blue Book & Nada Winnebago Values

Me thinks you can afford a hotel room if you can afford a Winnebago.

But if you're going to sit reserve for a few years it's a pain to have to get a room and pack your bag every single day. And, a lot of guys are afraid to get a room before the end of their callout time for fear of being sent out and wasting their room. If you don't get off reserve until 11 or 12 midnight it hardly seems worth getting a room if you have to be out by 10 or 11 am? I've seen a lot of guys just sleep in their cars.

Crash in a house with 10 other smelly pilots, farting, clipping their toes nails on the"public" couch, leaving their leftovers from two nights ago all over the place, bringing the fattest FA from a trip, back to the bottom bunk bed in a room full of hot bunks..... Or use a personal RV as a crash pad. Watch what shows you want to watch, go to bed in peace and quiet, no aqward fat FA run ins....sorry I did the college dorm thing a long time ago, to do it as a grown a$$ man......
