I picked up a 1987 Fleetwood Southwind in '03 for $5600, which I thought was a steal. In the last six years I have put over $8000 more into it just in repairs and replacements (which doesn't include cosmetic upgrades and roof repairs). A previous owner had replaced the transmission, and last year I replaced the tranny, so it's on it's third one! Radiator, brakes, water heater, starter, alternator, 12+ tires, fuel pump x2, toilet, freshwater tank are just some of the items replaced. My dash AC and propane cabin heater are both gone and too darn expensive for me to justify replacing (right now, anyhow) so we just make do without. In other words, an older moho can be a money pit. If I had it to do over I would rather have spent $15000 on a much newer moho, than to bleed the same amount over years! But I don't regret the fun we've had with it, even if those good times were periodically punctuated with roadside breakdowns.
I was, like, hummm older campers ---- that's me, I'll check this out.
