Where are you located, year/model/mileage etc. ? Do you have any very clear pictures posted online of your rig?

I was just going by the info the web site provided. Thanks for that info though. As I stated my knowledge of vehicles is minimal gas, oil change and how to change a tire and maintenance. I do know belts can be old and brittle or just worn. I learned that the hard way on a Isuzu in my 30's, I had to get a new vehicle because of it. A belt partially split, I kept driving because I was on the freeway and it tore up all the wiring. Supposedly fixed then it wouldn't go over 10 mph. It was too much trouble and long term attempting to figure out. That's when you realize your vehicle is a much needed appendage. Expensive lesson teaching the importance of proper maintenance.

That is good to know, I'm trying not to become discouraged. I'm seeing so many people who purchase and there's tons of wood rot. I don't think I have the bandwidth to get in there and do a total/partial rebuild. Maybe with help, but alone and all the learning curves it would take me more than a year. I'm ready to retire but realistically should wait 2 more years, so I would only have a few hrs per day with exception of off days to even attempt the labor intensive process. Dang singledom has been a peaceful notion til I embarked on this dream... I need another set of hands now... let him be both a carpenter and mechanical. LoL. Kidding with a lil' bit of truth.

I'm really seeing the value in women learning something about vehicles, my curve is very short. Also I noticed the year the timing belt was changed, it was 9,000 miles or so but in 1998. I have no idea if that makes a difference. I realize in loving these vintage RV's, I will have to put some $$ in it, but I'm hoping I can find something that was well maintained by its owner(s) and after purchasing not too much $$ initially. Maybe that's wanting a bit much. I'm sure it's apparent I'm an RV newbie.

165 miles traveling would be a better trek on my end, thank goodness I work for the airlines so that's one expense I won't have no matter the location. In reference to mileage I know Toyota's are pretty good as in my young adult life that's all I owned, I was just hoping to find something a little lower. I will contact the owners though. It looks to have the same layout. From looking at the link I posted, did anything stand out to you? What are your thoughts on the independent TV inspectors, would it be worthwhile? Thank you so much for responding, the search continues. Just figured out how to add the link. https://www.toyotarvforsale.com/1992-winnebago-toye-in-boise-id/

Just figured out how to add the link. I sent an entire paragraph previously but it didn't post. This is one I'm looking at, it's 1800 miles away, trying to determine if 1 way ticket is worth it because that's a long drive back by myself with no mechanical experience outside of where to put gas. I have no problem learning but not on a maiden voyage this far. I think it's been altered because from the inside there was a front facing window that's now covered. Not enough pictures to me of real things. Of course I would need to find a mechanic in that area or possibly pay for the pre rv inspection, which has increased in price from what I've seen other's pay. Unsure what questions I should ask upon contacting the seller if its still available. Would prefer rear dinette but I've not found any for sale in awhile. https://www.toyotarvforsale.com/1992-winnebago-toye-in-boise-id/
