Moisheh,
Yes. I understand completely! The Classic Airstream motorhomes have a (very low) 2,000# tow limit. Good luck finding a dinghy weighing less than that. The Argosy motorhomes have rear springs so my tow limit is 4,000#. I plan on towing a 1974 VW Beetle.
The Isuzu powered units are underpowered but with all RVs, there are tradeoffs with power and fuel mileage.
Yes, I own an Argosy MH. I like Airstream/Argosy units but I understand their limitations. Yes, service for any vintage motorhome is a real challenge. The radiator repair on my Argosy cost quite a bit more since the front end needed to be dismantled to even get to the radiator.
As for serviceability, I've been tempted to buy an MCI bus where all of the engine service is done after removing the rear panels! The typical MH seems to have the engine tucked away and hidden.
