If you do not have the many skills. tools and help, you may wind up spending a lot of money on repairs and upgrades to make an old rig safe to drive with most appliances, roof AC and furnace working properly. If your intentions are to camp close to home and put up with stuff not working, water damage, etc. you may be happy with an oldie. Old rigs tend to be under-powered and prone to overheat pulling grades on hot days. Old tires on RV's are unsafe regardless of tread depth and appearance. You might be money ahead to hold off, save money and buy a newer rig. We learned the hard way!!
