Obviously, a motorhome is more complex with engine, drivetrain, etc.
If you can do most of maintenance and repairs yourself than the 1995 motorhome could be a lot of fun. If you aren't handy at various skills including automotive, carpentry, electrician and appliance repair, then an older motorhome could turn into a money pit.
Agree, depends on if you do your own maintenance or not. We had a TT and Suburban tow vehicle. Now have an older motorhome, 94 Bounder. I do all the maintenance and prefer the motorhome. Of course some prefer a trailer, there's advantages to both. Whether a motorhome or trailer just make sure everything works. Fridge, furnace, AC, water heater. If a motorhome then consider generator and drive train as well. I've done a lot of work on our motorhome but then it was only $13k 5 years ago. Things I've done didn't cost a lot because I supplied the labor. Labor rates on a class A are typically over $100 an hour.
