I had a quick look at Craigslist for Nashville. There is options for sure. With your tight schedule, and need to keep moving, IMHO you might was to go a bit shorter than full size just for the easy of getting in and out of campsites.
There is a 2001 Newmar Mountain Aire with V10 gas available. It's $34,000, and is 34 feet long. Certainly Newmars enjoy a positive niche in the market.
Getting up into build in laundry might require a bit longer, but like everything, there is a tradeoff. What would you need to tow behind? Certainly, there is diesels to do the job, but the V10 gas engine is pretty easy and quick to fix, versus having to find a CAT shop to work on your diesel.
Enjoy the search. Nice music!
Thank you! I actually don't need to tow anything. I saw that post on craigslist (Newmar), but if it's $34,000 and it's 2001, do I have to spend some extra money for possible repairs?
Mr. Kuba,
Anything you buy will need repairs AND maintenance. You are looking at older coaches so the repairs grow exponentially as they age.
Honestly, I'm thinking a travel trailer will work best for you and a very late model truck. An old RV will have an old drive-train and may not be as dependable as you might need.
I'm not sure if you are very mechanical minded, you will need to be if you buy an older unit.
Think this through very carefully before you proceed.
Good luck,
MM.
