I've had a travel trailer for almost 3 decades. They too are getting cheap, far less maintanence than the class C and usually more room inside, much lower insurance and license fees. When looking at 10 year or older RVs look carefully at the roof. Many have been built with rubber roofs, and they have a limited life. The ultra violet exposure takes a toll on the rubber. I don't know what the replacement cost is, but it isn't cheap. Take a careful deep smell test of the coach area. If it has a moldy smell, or some cover-up smell, pass it up. Some of these coaches have taken swimming lessons and have mold in the walls.
If you are going to live in it for a week at a time, figure out some way that you can connect up the sewer hose to a sanitary sewer system. Otherwise you have to monitor your water use and take care of some dumping duties. Even though they all come with water pumps, getting hooked up to a pressure water hose really makes life more convenient. Every coach has a water heater, most are 6 gallon capacity, so be gentle on the shower water usage. If you can find one with a 120 volt refrig (common) and a 120 V water heater (not so common) then your LP gas will last a long time, as used by the kitchen stove/oven. RV stuff is made to be light weight and relatively small, so it does not have the life and reliability of the similar stuff in your house (plumbing, appliances, lighting, screen door, etc). Keeping a fresh roll of duct tape is a necessity, as well as a multimeter and a roll of electrical tape to help chase down and control the electric gremlins.
You will want a good bed, and a comfortable chair, and maybe A/C depending on the climate you are in.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
