Planning to buy 1988 Class A to live in
Me and my fiancee are looking to buy a 1988 Winnebago RV. The price is $1800 and we think it's our best bet for a living situation. I'm curious if A) it's a bad buy? One AC doesn't work (not a hug...

Wow wasn't expecting so many replies!
I've looked around and it seems it should he less than $600 a month, by my estimate anyway. I'm actually calling today and making sure there's a CG that has openings before I buy it today.
I believe myself to be pretty handy, I've done electrical work and plumbing so any repairs like that shouldn't be a problem. I've also fixed my fair share of cheap ACs from Craig's list haha. :P
I plan to move it to a CG and park it for minimum of a few months. The plan is to begin insulating the rv a bit better by winter.
RV parks seem to allow full timing here, worse case there are trailer parks that allow RVs as well.
Also we have one Sheltie and two cats. We've had to live in our for three months before though, so I don't think a RV will be bad...
Thanks guys. Also would I need insurance if I plan to just park it? I'm not worried about theft or fire.
Thanks again. :)
Edit: one thing... I don't know the first thing about RVing. When my family went camping we brought a sleeping bag, some flint, and a few cooking utensils. As a side effect, I never learned how to empty or fill tanks on an RV or how to connect it to shore power or how to do a million different things that you wizards seem to believe is common sense lol. I just read something about rinsing your black tank?? Hopefully I'm intelligent enough to figure it out on my own haha.
Edit 2: seems there's a age restriction on any "long term" RV stays. So getting this RV just became a huge risk. If we can't get it to pass smog it's very likely we'll get towed for not registering it in our name.
