Affordability Issue, perhaps?

I also have to wonder if perhaps what looks to be a badly-maintained camper or trailer, could be a new (used) purchase that is being enjoyed even while the updating and maintaining is awaiting or being performed. Let's face it, and I say this as a new RV owner, owning and maintaining an RV or camper can be a real drain on the pocketbook and unlike a house, they tend to age and deteriorate fast. Our first camper was a '70's Jayco pop-up which in the first year we had it, had a run-in with carpenter ants leading to our 'do-it-yourself' rebuild since we couldn't afford a professional job. I don't fault those who can ill-afford to take a more expensive vacation for using a camper that is a bit... under the weather. We all deserve the freedom and fresh air, whether it be in a new 'tiny home' or an older, uglier version awaiting a healthier savings account.
Been in both situations/done that.
