Actually, you can get one for about $46K fully loaded.  Including furnace,
AC and generator.  Can also be financed over 15 years and the interest is
tax deductible as a second home. I would buy one of these before spending
$35K for just the Eurovan.  However, the Rialta is awful close in price to a
"real" Motorhome.
