I'm not sure why everyone is trying to talk him out of it rather than help him do what he wants to do which is very do-able..I have done it a ton of times.You can get a pretty good class C for $10K if you look,I have twice..
Showering will use up the most of your water. If you stay at RV parks, you can use the park's facilities to shower, do laundry, etc. If you stay in boondocking locations, you will have fewer options.
For the price of an RV park you can haul alot of water or re-fill often.They are spendy...As for solar and close to $10K..Not for me..A quiet gen that is known for 10-20,000 hours of operation is by far a better thing for some peoples needs...
This person wants to buy a Class C in the $10K range and live full time in it working..Does anyone realize how many people do just that?Some do mobile home parks, because there so much cheaper than a RV park, especially in January and others boondock year around.
He also wants a small Class C..Nothing at all wrong with that either..Mine is 21 feet..We each have our own needs for our own reasons..I still have a 30ft trailer and there are so many places I cannot take it is why I wanted smaller but then again,it's the area we all live in and how we use our motorhomes.Some for work,others for play..
I personally have all the extra's needed to stay out for months at a time but I need my ATV trailer to haul it,which I do..I can go quite a while with just a hitch haul for extra propane/water/whatever..
What he wants to do is very do-able in his price range limited only by choosing the right drive chain that has been taken care of properly..These engines and transmissions are 200K+ mile capable with proper maintenance.The inside appliances could go out at any time,5 years old or 20 years old depending on there care and maintenance.
Buying a used RV is a **** shoot regardless of age.
