First: Welcome to the forum.
Second: And remember you, asked!!!
IMHO: If one of you or both are trained master wood craftsmen, also trained in steel & aluminum welding, master plumbers, master electricians, master mechanics to handle the axles and running gear, have a fully enclosed garage to work on this 5'er indoors out of the weather, have a very well stocked tool crib, and have a checkbook with an unlimited bottom, then I'd say go for it and have fun with your new hobby. Otherwise, leave that sucker where she sits and find a new hobby other than RV'ing...or raise your budget significantly. With a budget of $6K for a 5'er, you're not going camping any time soon. You're going to spend your weekends from now till who knows when restoring your new 5'er hobby in hopes to get it on the road some day. Unless you're just dying to buy a hobby, consider taking up hiking or golf. Good luck.
Happy camping!!! See y'all down the road!!!:)
