I’ve read various places about people asking what a camping/overlanding /expedition rig/truck camper/van cost is to put together. It always kind goes like this- “ we’ve been asked by lots of people what our set up cost “ My wife and I’ve been doing this for nearly 30 years and neither of us have ever been asked about what any of our 3 rigs cost to put together. I know I have somewhat envious relatives that would love to know, but even they don’t ask. My best friends and best relatives have never asked. Even if anyone ever did, I’d just answer, “quite a bit”. Does anyone else on here think it to be rude to ask such a question?
 
I've been known to make stuff up when people get too personal. The truth is sometimes optional. A good story about buying it for pennies on the dollar at a government auction should wind them up. Or, maybe winning it in a poker game?
