If this were a parenting forum and I was asking how to raise kids, have a house, maintain a car and so on with $721 I'm sure I'd be told it was impossible. I don't expect what I'm looking for to be easy but a little resolve goes a long way, I don't have a single thing in my life worth having that was also easy. There's good, there's easy, and there's cheap, pick two (:
My situation may not be the ideal one but if I have to knit a RV from organic yarn and tend to a flock of hamsters in little wheels to power it I'm going to do just that to make sure this happens.
My question wasn't whether or not this was a good idea or even possible but what to look for and what to avoid on a rig this old. Remember, I couldn't buy a new one even if I wanted to so no matter what my budget I would be resolved to getting one that was from the 90s at the very newest.
I can build, fix, fabricate or manifest anything I set my mind to and living on $721 a month with two kids requires a level of resourceful that most wouldn't be able to comprehend. There may come a time I do have to build my own RV but doing so with the materials that are chemical free comes at the expense of added weight and I simply don't have the time to design and build that right now. I'm also not certain what my needs would be until I try it out on a smaller scale.
So does anybody have any guidance with what to look out for, motors to avoid, brands to stay clear of in that sub $10,000 range?
The other suggestions are great so thank you for all of the input there.
