Sure sounds like you are quite the idealist. With all due respect to
your worthy goals, I would consider something newer and financiable.
I purchased a fixer FC from Houston, paid 15k, by the time I had it
ready for use I had close to 40k invested and that figure does not
include labor costs. You might do well to consider a large towable.
I like Newmars personally.
