In my opinion, one should set aside 20k on top of the purchase on ANY older motorhome. You will likely need tires and batteries. That is 10k.
If you do enough research you will learn that motorhomes of any brand are not Hondas, they require attention. After all, its a very sophisticated chassis with a home built on it, that is subjected to an earthquake everytime you drive it. I am not trying to burst your bubble, just interjecting with the reality of the situation. There are many before you on this forum who have tried in their preliminary research to quantify the cost of potential repairs. The answer is ALWAYS it depends. Well maintained units that have consistent use will likely have less issues than low mileage units with infrequent use or that have been sitting for an extended period.
