I am single and looking to get my first little RV. I"m looking at a 1986 toyota coachman. I currently have a pop-up and have only owned it for two summers. I have had it with cranking up and down in the dark, in the rain, in the heat ... just tired. I'd rather spend my energy on the kayak trip I typically came out to enjoy. SO! I do have a high school junior and a 1st grader. The Junior is a comparative short timer, and the 6-year old will be with me for a while. Am I looking too small at a 22' rig? It has the dinette and sofa with over cab bed. I've got a 4x8 trailer i was going to hitch up for my kayaks when we go boating. Just needing some encouragement this is 'doable' single woman style. I can change a tire, grease bearings and if positioned correctly can even lift one of those RV batteries that weigh almost what I do. Hate to spend too much money and find I didn't like it, hate to spend too little and find myself innundated with repair bills. Unit I'm looking at is a 22 RE engine, with 46,000 miles. He's asking $5300 and I get the impression he'd go down further as he said he hasn't had a single call on it. It's an hour and a half away, so not just a zip up and down to look at it. Thoughts?
