I beleive if it's no longer made, it's considered vintage in the auto world. In the RVing world, if it's over 10yo it's vintage. That because manufactured RVs don't hold up too well unless very good care was taken. I suggest that you find something you REALLY like, buy the best example that you can and keep it up from there. Some friends of mine decided to keep their mid '90's Jeep and completely fix it back up rather than buy another used something that they didn't know the issues with. Their theory is that you always hear of the one or two owner classic that was taken care of thru the years. So why not do that with a vehicle they already have $$ invested in. Makes sense to me. Like all those folks who buy a clapped out Airstream and then renovate it. Why not renovate the not so old thing you already have or are looking to buy if you like it even if it's not really "vintage" or "retro" or what ever the popular term is this week? Be easier to get certain parts too. The price difference between "older" and "vintage/collectors" RVs can be a lot of money that can go into repairs and updating.
Ten years old, your trying to be funny right?
