I never owned a car in my life, but I have owned 26 boats.


I didn’t get in many cars at the 2014 auto show, but I did take a tour of The Storm RV at the show.
The 2015 Fleetwood Storm 30L Class A Motorhome RV is one of the five available models. I like motorhomes because the interior is very like a boat, except for things like hydraulic leveling and heated rear view mirrors. And they’re aren’t many boats where, with the push of a button, you can hydraulically extend the space in the kitchen (galley on a boat) or the master bedroom. (Called the same on a boat.) Also, there’s quite a difference in price. The Storm series from Fleetwood starts a little under $90,000 and goes up to about $140,000 with all the goodies you can add. I'd add $50,000-to-$100,000+ for a boat with a similar interior. And mileage-wise, they’ll better too, getting about 6 to 9 mph, at least that's what I was told. (A boat will get a less than that.) You can can’t buy motorhomes directly from Fleetwood, but you can see all the models at their website. And the can locate a dealer near you if you're interested in exploring RVing further. The sales person at NY Auto Show said the 2015 models will be available starting May, 2014.
Here’s a video from a company that has one of them for sale:
