IMHO for $20K I would look for a 5th wheel and get a truck to haul it or a travel trailer you'd get a lot more for your money. My brother just bought a 31 foot 5th wheel used and it cost him $18K and it is in really good shape. For $20K a motor home would be really old and not in very good shape, plus repairs can be really expensive. 5th wheels and TT can be really nice and you have a lot less maintenance to deal with like no extra engine/trans to deal with etc. My brother and his wife winter in their 5er in the southeast and Fla every year. We went with the MH because we are full-timers and our MH is our only house. Where you are just using it occasionally I think the 5th wheel/TT would be a very good choice for you. Good Luck and Happy Retirement!
