If you don't have the skills, workspace, time and help for DIY consider saving your money until you can buy a 5 year old rig that needs nothing except tires if they are over 5 years old and have sidewall cracking. You can probably get financing on a 5-year old rig. Learn as much as you can about brands, models, floor plans. Recommend you get a rig with rear bedroom and RV queen bed, about 27 feet long, slides optional. Have rig inspected by independent truck mechanic and RV repair and get written repair estimates before you buy.
