I am sure you'll get a lot of somments on how un roadworthy a $5000 coach can be. Heck a set of tires will cost you half that and more. You really better be handy and carry spare parts and a lot of tools as well as a visa with a decent limit, especially for a cross country trip. That's my opinion. As far as wifi, there are several companies now that offer mifi devices. verizon, sprint and AT&T are probably the most popular. VZ has best coverage until you get to the midwest. Good luck.
Money would be a problem. Having to replace all fluids and tires is a serious problem financially for me (just got out of college.) What would a mid 80's motorhome with VERY minor problems cost? 20,000 is my absolute limit. That is pushing it. Yes you are right, Im not very handy though. Any tips in buying one? How to tell if one can take some serious miles? I have no idea of telling plus the seller would most likely be dishonest in his words of the RV limitations. Thank you.
