Do you have experience working on vehicles? Are you a quick learner in that area? No matter how well it has been maintained, any 1981 RV is likely to be one issue after another. Most may be minor, but some may be more complex. You have to stay on top of them. If you can fix them yourself, it will be fine. If you have to get them repaired, it will drain your college and travel fund. This is especially true if it has sat for a long time. A 30+ year old RV with only 47K miles no doubt has spent a lot of time sitting. I would actually be more comfortable with more miles on it at that age.
I have absolutely no experience when it comes to RV's and vehicles in general, but I have a few friends that know their way around an engine and they have access to all kinds of shop tools, so if nothing else, I can start learning the day I get this thing parked! And I had a full buyers inspection done and even the mechanic was surprised at the condition of this RV. The fact that is has sat for so long is the reason for the current problem (the generator won't kick on). Other than that, the shop said it was "good to ride right now!"
