OK, as somebody else mentioned RV's depreciate like crazy. Any RV you buy now will be worth almost nothing in 15 or 20 years, even if it mostly sits and doesn't get a lot of mileage. Seals deteriorate, rubber deteriorates, mice and other critters will get in and chew on wiring, etc.
If you want to get into this, you should be thinking in terms of buying a good USED RV - one that someone else has taken the biggest depreciation hit on - and trading it in on another one every 4 or 5 years.
Trailers aren't as bad as motorhomes, you've only got the axles, bearings and brakes all of which would be easy for a Jeeper to work on.
Rather than tow your jeep, consider a so-called toy hauler and carry it in the garage. A 3/4 or 1 ton truck and a fifth wheel set up in back for the toy hauler. Trade the truck in as necessary for the next 20 years.
Spend some time on RV Trader, looking at all the possibilities.
