Why not buy an RV? More space or just the fun of customizing the thing from the ground up?

Why not buy an RV? More space or just the fun of customizing the thing from the ground up?
- mschuster91 9y ago1) more space (especially as I'm a 1.87m guy) 2) proper toilet and shower instead of chemo toilet and something that's more a droplet distributor than a shower; in addition you can physically separate the toilet and its gases from your living room. 3) trucks and buses are designed for maintenance by the fleet owners and have space to actually work on the components, in contrast to loads of car based RV models 4) RVs at truck/bus scale are either expensive or so worn-out that a rebuild is the same cost 5) customizing - I like building stuff, for one, and normal RVs don't come with adequate 230V outlets or other IT infrastructure.
- robohamburger 9y agoGood to know! I figured there was a good reason.
- driverdan 9y agoI built my own because RVs in my price range are built like shit. They use cheap materials and low end components. They're designed for occasional use, not full time living. I wanted solar and lithium batteries so I would have had completely redo the electrical system. None of them come with a desk or work area.
