In Brief
A US couple sold their home for $367–370K and moved into an RV. Monthly expenses range from $1,200 to $2,000, while the RV depreciates rapidly, questioning the financial benefits of this nomadic lifestyle.
A US couple (Anne and Brian Klumpp) sold their home for $367–370K, plus a boat and dinghy for $103K, to buy an RV for $211K and live in it full-time. Since 2019, they have been traveling while working remotely.
According to HeyRV, 8.1 million US households own RVs. However, RV life does not guarantee savings: it replaces one set of expenses with another and requires a stable remote income. Constant moves create additional financial and practical challenges.

Anne and Brian Klumpp sold their house for $367,000 and a boat for $103,000 to buy a $211,000 RV as their permanent residence. Since 2019, they have been working remotely and traveling, but monthly costs (meals, entertainment, phone, internet, diesel, gas, campsite fees) range from $1,200 to $1,500. The RV has depreciated to $170,000. A 2025 HeyRV report indicates 8.1 million U.S. households own an RV, but a new motorhome loses 20% of its value in the first year and 60% after five years. RV living is not a guaranteed money-saving hack; it replaces some costs with others and requires reliable remote income.
