I've been looking into doing the same thing. Our FW is in very good condition. I've looked into adding a residential refig, Mor Ryde IS w/disc brakes, RV Armor Lifetime Roof, new sofa and recliners plus a little bit of cabinet work. Can get all that for about $20k. The new FW's we've looked at are $80k and up. Also, you get a new one and you will probably have to deal with problems for awhile. Is $20k $$$? I guess it depends on your perspective. I know it's a lot less than $80+. I also know I have a good dependable FW that I've already done a lot of mods to vs a new one with potential issues and then doing mods to it.
This is about where we are in the thought process. The unit we would buy is mid 80's, a quarter of that for a suitable remodel leaves a lot of cash for diesel.
I appreciate all of the comments, especially any that have done a remodel. And if you would do it again....
