I will respond to your question about an old rv and repairs. Yes, you can get a decent towable rv for under $10k. However, you will need to do your research and have it inspected by a professional rv technician to see what actual issues that it may have. Do not believe any owner or salesman that tells you it's in great shape. There are mobile rv repair people and sometimes a rv repair shop will have a technician come out. This could save you tons of $$$ down the road.
