Actually, many of them can be in very nice shape. You know the service was completed on a regular basis and repairs as needed. Typically, they don't come with an awning or hitch, but pretty reasonable to add.

Often, I see many of them just used to transport people versus a van. I wouldn't have any issues buying one.

Don't put too much faith in the "serviced regularly" part. I was a manager for a large auto rental company for several years. We changed oil on the entire fleet (1800 cars during our peak season) twice a year. Some had 500 miles on them some had 15,000 miles on them. We weren't any different than any of our competitors. The cars all were under warranty, it would cost us money to pull them out of service to fix anything. If it was usable we rented it and let the next owner worry about it. It's all about cash flow. I bet rental RVs aren't treated any differently..
