We seriously considered one, thought it would be a great idea to take the family too, guaranteed holidays etc etc but it was the site fees that really put us off, plus insurance, plus gas and electric etc etc.
I suppose it depends on how much you use it and if you want to rent it out because that can help with the costs but we didn't like the idea of renting it out to strangers plus renting does make it less flexible for visiting spur of the moment.
Oh, and the depreciation of the van, that put us off too. You've got to be prepared to pretty much kiss goodbye to the cost of the van over time. Add that to the rent and it's pricey.
We just borrow our friend's one once a summer and give them £30 a night...... BARGAIN!

Money doesn't buy happiness, but it buys beer, and that helps!
