I would continue to see how much is working and what is not. You will win either way.
You may (although I have my doubts) be able to repair / restore for less than you thought or if you part it out parts and appliances that can be shown to work are worth more than those that do not.
The suggestion to go to RV shows is a very good one. Go sit and lay and try to imagine actually using the unit. For example, when sitting in the living room what type of view do I have of the television. We like to cook certain meals is there enough counter space? Do I fit in the bed? Is it comfortable? Don't laugh I watched a guy close to if not over 7 feet tall pursue getting in and out of a little teardrop trailer. Reminded me of one of those clown cars!
As far as to buy a motorhome or a truck and trailer, only you can answer that. Everyone that responds here is going to back the setup they have because it works for them. It may or may not work for you. Make a list of the pros and cons and see if there is a winner. If there is see if you know someone that owns a similar setup and see if they will take you out for a ride or if willing, drive it. And as always keep asking questions!
