Isn't that the truth. If you've never owned a boat, on man, count your blessings (and your bank account). I've certainly spent some money on my RV, but it's just not even comparable. With a boat, you have to get "marine grade" stuff, and, basically, that means it breaks about the same frequency but costs 10X as much. Stupid things, wire connectors, stuff like that, I used to walk into West Marine get basically nothing and wind up a few hundred lighter. The prices of stuff for RV's is a breath of fresh air, that's for sure. Breaks a lot, but at least you're not talking 1000's (most of the time).
Merc exhaust at 2-3K a pop (per engine), maybe you'll get 5 years out of it. Yanking the boat to have the bottom painted; shoot, when I got tired of that, I spent more than the cost of my RV on a dock with a lift. Oh yeah, and 1-2MPG. That's fun too.
Count your blessings.

If you plan on staying in RV Parks/Campgrounds, you will probably not need the Generator right away. The Generator is more Boondockers equipment.
That being said, I can't recommend highly enough the Champion 3500 Dual Fuel Inverter Generator. We have had one for years and we Love, Love, it. We have NEVER used Gasoline in our Generator, Strictly Propane for us. The reason we like the Dual Fuel Generator i s that we don't have to carry extra fuel for it, we just hook it up to the Propane tank.David and Peggy
