There's no such thing as RV's that don't break. Its a home on wheels that is made to be light, not durable. Moreover, OP has a family of 6 and a dog so it'll be a lot of use and opening of doors and what not.

OP as said you really need to figure out your use. I honestly think a lot of people would be better off buying a small cabin on a lake as a vacation home and then staying there often and maybe renting it out. As far as time and money.

Things to consider as a dad are as already said packing for a trip is A LOT of work with kids. Loading, unloading, and then cleaning and fixing stuff. 3 day weekend trips for day is really 5 days when before you leave you pack and prep and coming home you unpack and clean up.

No its not lol. If you are packing/unpacking that much. You are doing it wrong. Everything stays in the camper. Throw a bag of clothes in, and go. It takes literally 5mins to hook up and unhook from camper.

Not true. My parents bought a Casita trailer back in 2003. It's still going strong with no leaks and nothing broken. They're retired, so use it all the time. Plus they could sell it for about $5k less than they paid 17yrs ago
