at that time you could get a new suburban for around $30k. Instead he spent $60k on an airstream Converted camper Ford E-Series,with top sleeper, since it was "only" an extra $30 grand.
and he still used it to pull the Trailer.
I say - Why the heck not? At that age, what else would he spend it on, and what could give him more enjoyment? At a certain point you realize that the days you have been saving for are at hand.
