I've been happily using my timeshares for the last three years living full time in my timeshares. Before I moved agressively into using timeshares, I also looked at getting an RV (either a Bus or Truck Camper). When I looked at the costs for the RV, it seemed like the timeshares prices were similar or less. Buying a large RV bus was more expensive than my timeshare purchases (even for one Bus, not the two I would probably need over the next 20 years). My investments in timeshares is less than half of one RV bus ($600K for a Bus).
But more importantly, my travel style fits with timeshares better than RV's. The gas price differences for an RV that is being driven 20K miles a year heavily tips you in favor of timeshares. The other big difference is my goal to travel to Hawaii and overseas makes the timeshare arguement much stronger. Ongoing costs to be in Hawaii are much below renting a hotel which is what you would do with an RV.
