300 SQFT vs 700SQFT is a big difference.
I did not know anyone was again building small RVs on Toyota chassis? You really need to think this through. In a 200SQFT RV where are you going to put your clothes? Where are you going to sleep? How easy is it to make the bed? I just sold my 36 foot fifth wheel to a young man that started with a 27 foot fiver and realized too late that that was too small. No closet, cramped kitchen, lousy shower all will make for a miserable experience. Size and comfort are way more important than cheap price. For your 20K budget think older, forget motor homes, and start looking at older used fifth wheels, or again park models. Your not going to be moving it for several years, so why waste your money on a drive train that will sit and self destruct just sitting there. Park models will give you better insulation, more home features, way more space that you will get in any RV. Sell it when you decide exactly what you want to do and move on. Heck 6 months from now in the dead of winter you may decide apartment living is not so bad afterall.
