The brakes need to work somewhat to assist in controlling the motorhome during the moves needed to get it out of the owner's yard. Issue there is that at some point the front passenger rotor overheated and broke. The remains of the rotor and the caliper firmly grabbed onto it are in a box in the motorhome. From what I can see it would be around 250 dollars in parts just for a new rotor and caliper, not to mention I'd still need a new brake line and pads. The air bags from what I saw might be the original ones and are in very rough shape. They might hold air for a time but ultimately they'll need replacing. That's another 1.5k from what I found online. Ultimately, it's not just the complexity of the tow but as I start to estimate the costs of getting the drivetrain fixed to the point where this thing can drive I'm looking at around 3-5 thousand plus the 2 thousand of purchase plus tow.

Over time I could get this done as I do all of my own work, but I have other projects that also require my attention and I really want to use the money elsewhere, mainly to get a few of these other projects done and out the door.

If my Youtube channel was providing a money stream that would be different, but it's not there yet. So when I look at the whole picture, it's not a great deal for me, unless I basically could get an investor to help pay with repairs. I don't see that happening either.
