I don't wish to mess up somebody's wish list, but I feel compelled to comment on this, as I have some experience with motor homes. If it is older than five years old, be prepared for constant maintenance. And I mean, CONSTANT! By their very nature, everything is lightweight, which usually means cheaper quality. BUT, because it is a "recreational vehicle", the cost of parts are higher. For instance, a water heater is only about 10 gallons at most, but will cost you more than $500. The 454 chevy engine is a fine workhorse, but it will like it's gas, expect between 8 and ten mpg. I worked on motor homes for awhile, long enough to not have any respect for a used one. They are, generally speaking, money pits. Hate to be negative, but I want a friend to know what he is getting into. If the idea of sleeping in your own bed every night is what you want, OK. But seriously, there is no way you are going to save money over the cost of a hotel. ($30-$40 camping hookups will ensure that!) Good luck to ya.
