Finally, if you live in an RV you get to keep it. And modify it.

rent is quite a bit less than rental properties.
I take it RV means campervan? Those depreciate way faster than
houses.
If you don't plan on selling it who cares? Besides, as you argued for
automobiles, buy them used after they depreciate.
Still a lot of repairs to do, like rust, and the engine of course.
Aluminum doesn't rust. RV's also include trailers so there is no
engine

My brother had a motorhome but he towed a Toyota yacht tender behind
it.
That's a very common practice so you have a vehicle smaller than a bus
to drive around. With the trailer, you can drop the trailer and you
have
the tow vehicle for driving around.
There are quite a few full-time RVers in the US. Some are retirees,
others are younger and find employment as they go.

When I hit the road it was in a pickup similar to the 3rd photo, rather
than a van or some of the pickups with larger camper shells. It was
inconspicuous and could go anyplace. I wandered around the western US
for a year, going to Arizona for the winter months, and then spent a
year as a Forest Service volunteer. It's an interesting life; you learn
to travel light and improvise.
I don't understand why they're still using steel on any vehicle,
Because its much cheaper than the alternatives
and isnt hard to treat so it doesn't rust.
Yet all cars rust. After the warranty period though.
No rust on my Getz and it's a long way out of warranty now.
it's ridiculous.
You are.
Ner ner ner ner ner!
