It's a whimsical dream of touring fantastic places in a vintage RV and making memories that you read about in books. In reality it reminds me of a story. Friend of mine knew nothing about RV's and was looking at one with the similar specs as yours. Despite my cautions, he bought it anyway. Spent about $10k in the first 6 months just chasing problems (plumbing, generator, electrical, leaks, engine, transmission, exhaust). It eventually left him and his and his family stranded several hundred miles from home with estimates in repairs almost equal to what he paid for the RV. You are talking about an RV that is 24 years old and sat most of it's life. It is going to have problems, lots of them and many won't show themselves until it's too late. If you know nothing about RV's it's a mistake. If you know a lot about RV's you might be tempted to pick it up as a project and work on restoring it over a year. A labor of love of course as it's time and money without getting any of that back.
