Thank you so much for that! Sorry for the delayed response. We purchased a 95 Winnebago (Ford E350). Its in pristine condition and was very used as a residence. Lots of upgrades to the engine and all brand new tires as well. We got a really great deal on it.
We have been researching like crazy but still don't feel as prepared as we would like. This wasn't just a decision made to do, but literally our best option due to our living/life circumstances. We have a little bit to live on but didn't have a house to sell or anything like that. We will definitely be staying southern in our routes, likely starting in Sedona, Arizona to even just rest for a minute in a peaceful environment.
The plan is to make it to the East Coast to clean out our storage unit in Virginia before deciding on our next move. Have you used Thousand Trails at all or KOA for campsites? The membership deals looked pretty great but I don't know anyone that used them. Are they worth it or is better to find campgrounds and parks?
Thanks for all your insight!
Not to rain on your parade but set aside a good chunk of cash for maintenance and repairs.
A 30yr old rig that's been sitting for a long time would be a true unicorn if it was really in pristine condition. I would lean towards a rig that gets regular use because that requires regular maintenance. If the rig isn't moving, it's easy to skimp on maintenance and it won't show up until you get out on the road bouncing around.
Not saying it won't turn out to be a good rig for you just be prepared before the repair bills roll in
