Our Budget Adventure

The Goal: Get an RV UNDER $6,000. Trust us, it's POSSIBLE! When we say "get an RV under $6,000" we mean including estimated repairs/renovations. The KEY things to look for are: drives well (no major mechanical issues), all appliances work, and no/minimal water damage. Anything cosmetic is an easy fix, BUT it does take time. If you aren't willing to put in the time for cosmetic fixes and you want your RV to be modern then you should increase your budget to $8,000-$10,000. Facebook Marketplace will be KEY! Dealerships overcharge, but you can get a GREAT deal from an individual seller IF you know what to look for, and we'll teach you! The Chosen One (Our RV) There are many important factors in choosing the right RV for you. ESPECIALLY when you're RV hunting on a budget. BUT no need to get overwhelmed because we'll walk you through what's most important! DON'T get discouraged. When RV hunting, especially on a budget, the firs...

The Month Long Struggle of Trying to Buy Our RV

After a Month Long Struggle We Finally Got Our RV!! Okay, so when I say month-long struggle I mean month-long struggle. This blog post is going to be more of a story so you guys can follow along with our personal journey. We decided to buy an RV back in July of 2022. We hit Facebook marketplace and started looking around. The very first RV we went to look at was absolutely not it. It had excessive water damage throughout the entire RV, and a very terrible engine. The first RV we went to look at struggled to go uphill even at 40 mph. While we were disappointed, we hit up Facebook marketplace again. That is when we found the 1992 Pace Arrow listed about an hour and a half away from us. We went to check it out on July 26th. For the purposes of anonymity we will be calling the lady we bought the RV from "Ms. Smith". Ms. Smith told us that the RV was her brothers, and that she would be receiving the keys and the title in the mail in the next coup...
