Need advice: buying a used RV

For $60,000 your want list is reasonable. It might even work at $35,000. At $6,000 you are dreaming.

You will be able to find a 20 year old smallish motorhome for that amount but then you will need to have money set aside for repairs and be prepared for breakdowns on the road and staying at motels while parts are obtained.

For $6,000 I would buy a Casita or similar trailer that you can tow with your current car or truck.

Saying that $60k is 'reasonable' and that $35k might work, is like saying "hey sorry most of the world, but you'll never be able to own a motorhome." I've seen SO MANY motorhome that are around the $15k range that would be great. Even the $10k range. I know I'm new to all of this, but dropping $60k on something can't be the only option, because I know that's just not an option for many RV owners.

I'm noticing that many people on these forums, while trying to be helpful, are actually just, in one way or another, telling me I can't do what I want to do. Instead of trying to give me advice on how I can do what I want to do. I realize money is always a thing.. But what I've learned from life is that there are ways around everything, and that money isn't always the answer to the problem. Sorry if I sound like a moron to you or I'm just dreaming.. but hey, I have big dreams. I ended up going with a 1983 Coachmen Leprechaun.. so wish me luck! And thankfully I found super great roadside assistance in case I break down!

Thanks everyone for the advice, encouraging or not. I hope all your travels and lives are pleasant :)
