I love waking up and seeing my mailbox explode letting me know I have messages from here. I get all excited. =)
Just going to update everything real quick so we are all on the same page.
1 I am Looking for work in a state that is warm Somewhere south of Michigan or West.
2 I have my home which is worth 10-13k.
3 Plan on selling house when a Job is secured.
4 Use money from house to purchase R.V. and supplies.
5 Plan on living full time in R.V.
6 Live in r.v. make money and save money upgrade to better R.V. or buy a house. Depending on if the wife and I enjoy the full time R.V. life.
Wife works as a home to home cleaner
I work in hotels as Auditor & Front desk Manager
3 kids 12 yr old girl, 3 yr old girl, 1.5 yr old son.
R.V.'s that I am interested in are Late 1980's High end Holiday Rambler Class A Motor Homes. Price range 5k to 12k.
Current location we are looking Texas,Arizona,South Dakota,Tennessee.
Washington is a little to wet for me. I have heard that it is always raining there. Florida scares me with hurricanes. Only thing that worries me about Texas is the fact I am from the north and we all know how most Texans feel about Northerners. LOL.
I agree with most that the 1988 looks good but with the engine work that was done to it does throw up a red flag. I tend to stay away from vehicles that have had major internal work done.
The 86 is very nice haven't been to see it yet. The price is kinda steep for a 86 but it has been serviced this year and lots of things replaced and or upgraded. So if I spend 10k and not have to worry about anything for a while then I guess its worth it. rather spend 10k out right and move the second I get it then spend 5k and let it sit in a R.V. shop for 5 weeks for repairs.
I am also looking at other R.V.'s but nothing is catching my eye like the Holiday Ramblers have. I am just trying to follow the plan and what everyone is saying about buying used. Always try to buy a high end Used R.V. for your first R.V. so that money isn't wasted on 100+k loan. Also High end older model R.V.'s will most likely have all bugs taken care.
