I don't think your crazy. I guess that it depends on if you like to camp. Of course you will still have upkeep while your staying in the RV. I used to work on the road and I stayed many years in a camper and loved it. I would also look at something newer than an 89 model. I would be cautious of a unit that old. For extended stays or full time, at least one slide would be a requirement for us. Also be aware, some campgrounds have a 10 year limit on the units they let in. The other thing to ponder is, will you be able to stay in one spot that long? I would say the RV route is good but buy something you can enjoy after the 6-8 month position is done. The 89 unit might become a fixture in your yard should you decide to try and sell it later on.
