Any $5K unit can easily cost you another $5K inside a year or two of running it. That's penny wise, but pound foolish. Get the rig that's $15K to $20K to get a better unit. Which is what you were going to do in the first place.
thanks for all the suggestions. I've pretty much decided if i can find something in time i'm going to take it on the trip. that long of a trip in a kia optima sounds very cramped to me so i'd like some more room. i didnt hear anyone tell me i'm crazy. this is why i need to move on this because i have to have time to go through this and repair things if found. I'd probably replace belts, give it a tune up, take it up north for a weekend see how it goes. i have an 01 ford focus with 200,000 miles and a 93 ranger with 150,000 so an older RV would not scare me, its just the distance away from my tools haha. I'm sure i'd get road side assistance on my insurance too so that may help me relax a little. maybe. I would not be as leery if i had this for a year and i knew it was reliable, but all i would have now is a month and the sellers word. which is c.r.a.p because they want it gone.
