The more time in it, the more you want more current features not on a RV as old as my PW. I think of my PW as a "camper." I primarily camp in N or S forests and tend to think of it as a "really nice tent." For us, it offers us an escape from the city.

This is exactly right. It is almost ALWAYS cheaper to fix an exiting vehicle than to replace it. You NEVER get past the depreciation hit. As you say, the true costs are not financial. They are measured in unreliability and the opportunity costs of foregoing modern safety and convenience features.
