My wife loves our 21 year old coach, our dog gets excited at the sound of the engine starting. I love driving it and relaxing at a new destination. We bought the coach for a good price and have redone just about everything we wanted to do and repaired things it was better to do before they quit. We are at the top end of what it's worth on the open market.
To balance that, we are down to two cars, no boat, no second house, paid my last college bill, kids in theory have left home (but back, thanks Covid)
We relax in our coach, we go in it week ends and for longer trips throughout the year in lieu of flying to expensive resorts.
It's good value, it's a value that gives us happiness, it's also a math equation.
If you don't use it, If it's constantly costing money, if your circumstances change, you might want to divest or down size, or quit the RV life style and try something else.
We all have different wants and tolerances, enjoy your Foretravel while you can.

As I have stated before, an RV is a depreciating asset!  We have owned 5th wheels, Class C and two diesel pushers.  The carrying capacity and shear strength of the diesel pusher is why we have one today.  Lots to learn and break down, but the chance of seeing our great country is priceless!  And like Dub, sleeping in our own bed is marvelous!
