While $4,000 will be enough to purchase an older Class C, you'll more than likely need additional funds for repairs/fixes/getting maintenance items back on track.
If you spend less on a Class C, you'll still need more than what's left for repairs/fixes/getting maintenance items back on track.
Tires on an older Class C will run you $1000 to $1500 and you WILL have to get them before heading out. In addition, it could take months to be able to get the RV in running order.
If one of you has a vehicle that can tow and is in good shape, I agree with the idea of getting a smaller trailer. With a small trailer, you might be able to park it at the venue overnight saving on campground fees. The larger the RV, the less likely you'll be able to do that. Depending on how many of you there are, you might be able to use a large van and go "old school".
