I kind of want to have fewer vehicles but everything I own has a specific purpose
Believe it or not, mine do too, LOL.

This thing easily costs 1/2 the value of the house. Anyway, upon further inspection, I noticed tubes, cables, hoses and wires deployed from the motorhome.

Yup, the owner had sewer lines, cable TV and water hooked up. He even had a 50-amp outlet in which to power his rig.

IN his garage.

I'm thinking the owner must be sent out "to the doghouse" quite often, and this was his way to deal with it, LOL.

(Yup matt, I hate this guy....)
About a year ago, I flew out to Ft. Mohave (near Laughlin NV) to check out some RV homes.

Didn't buy in, but some interesting floorplans
