Yes, but $22500 would get you something built in this century and unless the OP is into retro restorations, doing all that stuff just to have an old @ss camper with an old @ss chassis and drivetrain is silly.
May be what she's after, but takes a LOT of tinkering and $ to get a 40 year old camper anywhere near the standards and features of the last 15 years or so.
Not being a dik, just helping her analyze what she just bought as my hunch is she really has no idea.

I don't think you're being a dik, but I don't think it's necessarily silly to buy an old rig. I didn't restore my clipper - I got it in good working order. I did a few mods to make it mine. Other than that, it's the way I bought it. I LOVE my old @ss camper with an old @ss chassis and drivetrain (I love my clipper too).

Knowing what you're getting into is important, but knowing both sides of the arguments is the best way to know if you will be happy with your decision (whatever that decision may be). There are many folks on this board with old Dodge motorhomes (there's a years' long thread in the Class C forum dedicated to these old beasts) and they are quite happy with their rigs. Others want something new. What's right for one is wrong for another and visa versa.
