^ you could get a decent class C for the $35k and keep it, although based on your last post, I'd want something fairly new, less potential issues, so maybe you're looking at $50k. Either way, you'd be hard pressed to lose $35k on a used rv in 1 year unless you bought it totally wrong or trashed it.
Don't freak out about the "constant" repairs. It's not like these things are rolling remodeling projects. Yes you could need repairs. No it's not likely huge or serious issues. Drivetrain and chassis, no more than the average car with similar miles (if you're talking newer models). Camper portion, appliances and the like are pretty darn relaible. Not worth blowing $35-40k into the wind on a rental. If you have that much money, save some of it by buying and then selling.
