My wife and I spent a summer living in a 24' Class C motor home.  My wife
bought it at an auction because it went so cheap.  Just parked it in the
parking lot for the ski area and moved it across the street once a week to
the dump station and once a month to the gas station for propane and fuel
for the generator.  Saved the high cost of rent for a summer here in
Telluride and sold it off at the start of the next summer when we got a
caretaking job.  Ended up selling it for $2000 more than we paid for it.  So
not a bad deal.
