Ok, I can definitely understand where you're coming from in regards to the money... and believe me it's been a consideration of mine, so let me explain why I did decide to do it vs. send it off to the junk yard:
I have $3,500 invested. That includes the motorhome, titling and insurance for a year. Everything in the motor home is good.. fridge, ice maker, furnace, stove, etc... just missing washer/dryer and generator. All of the cabinet doors are still good. Chairs and sofa still good.
So... I know I can finish the interior rebuild for well under $2k... another $600 for the roof and another $1,000 in mechanical parts (struts, air bags 2 tires).
So... I'm estimating to have $7,100 into this project plus my labor. Now, that's my logic... not to say I'm right, but I'm going to go for it. Like I said... I might be crazy, but I'm sure I can pull this off for less than $10k and I cannot find an RV with brand new interior anywhere.. 36' for that money.
