RV in Business

Yahoo Message Number: 17981
I am trying to work up some numbers to justify buying a motorhome and possibly leasing it back to my company.I travel the entire USA in my job and believe I can save my company money in expenses(hotels, airline, etc).Is there anyone who currently does this and finds it's a win/win for their company and themselves?

Steve: Good luck in finding some financial justification for buying a motor home. I doubt you will find any. Even if you use it exclusively for business, it's still costs a lot more than conventional business travel. How about $.40 per mile for fuel alone?
Things like initial cost, depreciation, maintenance and insurance, operating expenses, etc. will make a pro-forma look pretty sad, especially in the luxury class like Country Coach.
Notwithstanding all of the above, most of us own them for personal reasons.

Good luck.

Good luck. No matter how you crunch the numbers they will never come over to plus side. Lets face it. This is a lifestyle that cost money and if you want the lifestyle then you have to pay. Uncle Sam will always find a way to get his share as well. Even with creative accountants, it is pay me now or pay me later.
Of course there are those who come up with some very inovated ways to defer some of the operating expenses by writing them off as business expenses. That would help reduce the overall cost. If you ever find a way to do it there would be many folks interested in hearing about it.

Good Luck....

This may only work if you own the Company or have much sway over how things are done. As an employee, it is tough to compete with traditional travel in a MH.
