I bought my 1994 33’ Holiday Rambler for $3,500, it ran good but was a monument to neglect and deferred maintenance. So far I’ve invested about $1,100 in rig repairs and am currently in the middle of my 5,000 mile Grand North America Tour & shake-down journey. From what I’ve learned on my shake-down journey is that I have about $1,500 in repairs left to make the rig totally right. So by this time next year I’ll have $6,100 invested in the rig, but barring some unforeseen catastrophic event, the rig will be in excellent running and camping condition. I could’ve easily paid $6,100 outright and still have had to do many of the same repairs (such as new shocks and tires). Overall I’m very happy with how it’s been playing out. I suggest the OP view his new rig the same way.
