Thanks everyone for your input and thoughts. It seems to me the final answer is "there really isn't a Class A Vintage MH definition" as there may be in "classic automobiles" for example. And maybe I have that wrong too. When I was a kid, an antique auto was 50 or more years old and a classic auto was 25 years or more. But of course "vintage" is always changing based on the sub-group who is involved in it, and the overall length of time the object has been around. I suppose it would be safe to say early 70's Winnebagos, GMCs, early bus chassis MH manufacturer built MHs like Prevost and Bluebird, etc. all qualify. Anyway it's fun to see your answers, thanks again. For me, thinking through all this stuff is half the fun.
Just don't bite off more than you can handle. Having restored several classic cars, boats, airplanes, and RV's, I can say that I have seen quite a few unfinished projects sold at a huge loss when the owner finally realized that he did not have the skill, or the wallet, to finish the restoration project that he started. Assess your skills and budget and move forward accordingly. The ultimate goal is to enjoy the RV, not spending years with a project that never gets out on the road. Good luck with your choice.
