Used RV under $5k? Does it come with its own tow truck, or do I have to call AAA ahead of time? Asking for a friend.

In reply to JillT. JillT, make sure you check the RV well before buying. Some hidden probs can be costly.

all these RVs sound old and probably have a ton of issues. might be better off saving for something newer.

Can anyone confirm if these prices are still accurate? It feels like a deal this good would’ve been snapped up quickly.

Purchasing a used RV was one of the best decisions I made. It’s all about the adventures you have, not how new your rig is.

Buying a used RV under $5k? Sounds like a one-way ticket to breakdown city. Hope you guys enjoy spending your vacations in a mechanics garage.

In reply to TerryG. Hey, TerryG, did you end up buying one of these? I'm eyeing that Jayco, curious about real-world experiences.

Interesting list but how up to date are these models with modern tech? Retrofitting old RVs with new tech can get pricey.

This is awesome, Jonathan! Love tinkering with older RV models. They have so much character, and saving a ton of money to boot is just the cherry on top.

i totally disagree, buying used is the only way some of us can even get close to owning an RV. gotta start somewhere.

Jonathan Holmes, I appreciate your effort in compiling this list. However, buyers should also consider potential maintenance costs. An RV under $5k might be more prone to issues that weren’t disclosed.

Buying a used RV sounds good on paper, but what about all the hidden issues? Not sure it’s worth the hassle.

All these under 5k RV trailers sound great but what’s the catch? There’s always something they’re not telling us.
