I picked option B, but I would not pay $24,000 too quickly. I doubt there is many guys waiting in line to fork out that kind of money.
I was/am not rich. I wanted a ppc and a four place family hauler. We payed off all debt. We stopped eating out, no vacations, went down to lowest Directv subscription, all vehicles to liabilty. We saved for my ppc in 2008. Stayed current on 1-2 hrs per month($90-$180), sometimes with the family for lunch. Saved for the RV-10 slow build kit. The whole family helped. First flight 12/1/2011. TT= 85 hrs. We would not want it any other way. Yes it cost $72/hr for fuel($7200/yr), $150/mo hangar, $2,200/yr insurance, $500 maint, very little in repairs since it is all new. Is it worth $11,700/yr? You betcha. We were paying almost that much in bank interest at one time. It is all about sacrifice, patience, budgeting.
If the wife did not want on board after everything was paid off then I would have built an RV-8A with or without her. My wife is frugal too. We decided in 2006 after RV dreaming that our house came before toys.
If you don't think an RV will haul your stuff, get on VAF and ask to try one out. If you are down this way I will take you up.
