Buy as new an RV as you can and stay away from the old ones, even if they're giving it away. To call them money pits is an understatement. Mine's an 87 that I've owned since 2014. It still won't pass inspection no matter what I try. I just purchase a Trip Permit for five bucks and drive on down to the camp site. Believe me, all RV's are troublesome but that's because they're complicated and have many systems that need constant attention. Even my inlaws RV gave her trouble, and that was a 2001 Intruder. What a shitbox that was. I was always working on it. But aside from all the work we put into owning one, we just love it, love camping and just driving to our next destination. Our friends do it and so do we.
Good Luck
