I am in the process of finding/buying an RV and need some advise. Primarily, I would be using the RV for short 1-3 day road trips approximately 1-2 a month, 1-2 days a week I would use it as a daily driver(60 miles), and once a month load it with merchandise to set up at a flea market. I have never gone camping before so I don't know how much I would use it for that. Also I am a female, non-mechanical oriented and will be the only one using it. After looking at the options it seems a class B would be most suited for me, but I only have a maximum budget of $10,000.00 and I can't seem to find any in that price range. I see some for $15,000-20,000 that are 12-18 years old. I do see some that are 20+ years old that are in my price range but would those be dependable enough since I will be driving a good deal? For example, one choice is a 1987 Gulf Stream Conquest (a mini class c) on a toyota chassis, 21' $5,500.00. Also I am unsure about other things like: How often will I have to go to a camp ground and unload the liquids? I would need to be able to use the ac/heat for the whole vehicle, not just the dash so I am assuming I will need to buy one with a generator, or can I easily add a generator if the vehicle doesn't have one? Due to my profession I get more free time around the winter months so would like to use the vehicle year round, but is that going to be possible due to pipes freezing, etc. I don't want to end up buying if the vehicle really won't meet my needs, so please help me out with any suggestions and answers to my questions. I appreciate it. Jennifer
