Power Ball
So with the recent winning of over $700 million in the Powerball, it got me thinking. What would be your "money is no object" choice for camping? Motor home or fw/tt tow rig combo.
Mine would be a middle bunk fiver modified to have the full outdoor kitchen towed by a brand spanking new Chevy 3500 dually!

That's funny. That's not camping. That's rock or country star on tour. Funny.

Deluxe motorcoach
Wheels turning non stop except for when we stop at a 5 star hotel to spa and relax while someone else ensures the rig is cleaned to spotless perfection. Always been my "redneck retirement" (lottery) plan.

Learjet Global 8000 to a private air strip in Wyoming. New F350 and a 200+ acre ranch with a smarthouse. Oh, and a Class A Jayco as well. Just because.

Honestly, I'd keep what I have. I'd pay John and Tom very well to do all my upgrades tho! I'd probably just buy some land with a view and lake so that I could camp & fish whenever I wanted. I wouldn't even quit my job, as I've only got 7 yrs to go until I can retire.
Now if you ask the DW....that'll look a WHOLE lot different!!

Heard that before and there is a flaw in your thinking. Its not so much the millions you would already have but rather the fact that someone or something makes you think that retirement is a date/time that someone else has set for you. You will never recover those 7 years and its a pretty significant chunk of the years you have left even if you live to 80 or more.
Maybe I'm being a bit introspective but I retired 13 years ago at age 57. In a month I will be 70. Damn that's still hard for me to get my hands around that. Hopefully I'm only half way thru my retirement, but those first few years sure were more fulfilling than they would have been if I had spent them going to work every morning in the big city.
I have no chance to win the big prize because I don't buy lottery tickets. It dawned on me about a year ago that although I'm not filthy rich, I do have more than I could ever need. What happens going forward will only impact how much my kids will inherit hopefully many years down the road. As to the ?? the OP raises, oh I might get a new fishing boat or a second side by side but if I really wanted them I would have them already. You never have enough $$$ if you just dream about stuff you don't really want or need and you tend to have a little extra if you plan, save, and live in your own skin rather than what you see on tv.

the wife and I had a similar conversation with the "what if" lol, I would still get a fiver but with all the bells and whistles it could have, then maybe a coach for a cross country trip. Since a have a new 3500 DRW, I would just buy a Freightliner sport chassis to tow the fiver

I'd sell my current brick and stick, and buy 3 more in various locations around America so it's almost always summer somewhere, each with LARGE indoor vehicle storage.
Each house would be fully stocked, and include its own RV. One house would have a 5th wheel parked in its garage, the other, a Class A diesel pusher, the 3rd would have a smaller unit that I can fit in the back country. I'd invest the rest of the money in low risk bonds and live off the interest payments.
I'd pay off my parents debt, and my sisters, and would pretty much vanish from that point forward.
