In my shopping experience a generally a road ready motorhome costs at least $10,000, sure you may find one listed for sale for $7,000 but it will likely need a $3,000 set of tires, ...
In addition to this every thousand dollars you spend over the $10,000 mark buys you 2 to 3 times its additional value in the long run all else being equal. By this I mean if you have 3 identical motorhomes, one priced at $10,000 one at $12,000 and one at $14,000, you may well find that the $12,000 or the $14,000 give you much more bang for your buck in terms of updates, condition, etc.
