I think I'd seriously consider a former Cruise America Majestic 28-footer. They are built-out super simple, have lots of payload, and can be bought for cheap. I'd have zero reservations with a high-milage chassis, and the normal RV problems (leaks, appliances that don't work etc) are just as likely with a new unit, maybe more so, because at least Cruise America takes the time to fix those problems before sending them on the road.
I would have to agree on this as a viable consideration. If you have not looked into this option
This Link to the Former Rental owners may be of help. There are more than 100 members of this Forum that have them and as of yet I have not heard of any complaint or major failures.
Cruise America Majestic are purpose built,maintained well and
Refurbished before sale.
