New guy here. Been lurking awhile but now I have a question.

I have been looking at these motorhomes for sometime. I really like the retro style. I've watched CL for ages and checked prices. It seems that you can get a decent one, up here (Vancouver Island), for the $15-$20k range. Lots of cheaper ones out there.

The question is this. Is it realistic to expect to pay $20k and get a reliable, trouble free MH?
When I read through the threads on this site I see so many potential issues. Old powertrain, suspension issues, typical MH mechanical issues etc.
There is no doubt the GMC is a cool looking machine. But if I want to pack up and head out for a couple months am I better off to look at a newer machine? Is the GMC more work than a newer MH?

I am close to retirement(less than a year) and am trying to convince the better half that this would be a great adventure. I just don't want it to be too much of an adventure.

Feel free to educate me. Razz
