I am new to this community but here goes.would like to know if there might be a Winnebago adventurer out there that is used, has an adjustable king bed small table and couple chairs,instead of the bed type extra cabinets and drawers,residential size fridge,instead of sofa a theater style recliner, and most important washer and dryer. It has to be mechanically sound and gas engine. Due to hubby deliberately sabotaging credit third time, I can't get financing or credit at all will need a private owner contract or a dealer that will under the circumstances help me into one. I intend to travel far and for the first time in a long time be free to enjoy life am on fixed income only so price would have to be low as for year maybe 2008 or 2010. If possible. Thanks for listening and any help
 
What is your budget? As far as a dealer working with you, they will only if they are making money off you; more money than they deserve. If you are trying to get away from a bad relationship purchasing a used RV with mechanicals to maintain might not be the wisest choice . Might leave you stranded on the side of the road with no money and no way to get it moved.
 
You can help us to help you by giving us more information about your needs and your budget. The Winnebago Adventurer is not a low budget RV so would you consider some other make & model? The one that Zulu linked to is asking $95,000 but you could probably get if for less, if you can pay cash. It is also located in TX so you would need to be able to travel to look at it. If you look at RV Trader you can get some idea of what might be available in locations within 250 miles of Dickenson, ND.
 
I'm sorry for your predicament, but time for a reality check. No one in possession of walking around sense, with a mechanically sound RV equipped to your specifications is going to let someone, with no credit and no collateral, sign and drive it away.

Well, we do have a member on here that does those kind of deals..............Maybe he will give his equipment to this person.
 
My opinion is you are either a sucker wanting to be taken advantage of, or someone who is trying to take advantage of others. Either way a motorhome is not a good answer for you. What happens when you are 700-800 miles away from home and a mechanic wants $2000 to fix the rig. How will you pay for fuel on your fixed income as well as campground fees (unless you boondock) Who will take care of the daily/ weekly chores on the rig. Dumping tanks, filling water, Checking tires are all frequent chores are you capable?
Better choice is something like https://www.pioneerpeacefulhaven.com/

This sounds like a scammer to me. Sob story about credit being sabotaged, then being a first time owner with no experience wanting to buy a high end Class A that is stripped down. Not only is fuel a problem, but maintenance and insurance costs also come into play.

I do know that, and was just trying to see if there might be something out there in the community that someone might have that would meet my needs that might want to get out of and maybe take over pmts. Or maybe a dealer that has something buy here pay here. Just scoping it out

Most men are scammers, I am on fixed income and am capable of taking care of things that need to be taken care of. Just want to get something I can travel and stay in without having to be dependent on hotels or laundromats ,and can do dumping if I know where the sites are. If someone says it is mechanically sound do you think everyone is stupid? I would have it checked out first. Thank you
 
You just talked me out of offering to help
Thank you for your time, a man that I am married to got credit cards and we got a car together, he failed to pay on them so his score would drop, deliberately so he would apologize, and fix to a point ,then did it again, and fix then again this was last straw we been married 20 + years. I have had cancer, stent in heart and all he is concerned about is hotel living and his hobby. I am retired and want to live on the road seeing places,going places. Being in a hotel for 6+ years is not acceptable.I am not a scammer just too trusting that there are honest people who don't mind helping or steering in right direction. So thank you very much for your help sir.

Can make pmts of 250. At this time due to damaged credit. As soon as I pay off a few bills can afford to make bigger pmts.have respiratory issues so laying flat is a problem. That is why an adjustable bed is needed. Residential fridge is needed for the frozen vegetables and fruits needed for my meals. Water to drink would be in fridge as well for my meals. I really would like to get out on the road.
Asking a community for help then calling about 1/2 community scammers.
Good Grief.
I did not call the community scammers the community called me one. I said most men are scammers. I should have said most husbands, that deliberately scam their wives but that might have been misconstrued as well.
 
Are you saying you can pay only $250 per month until you get some debts paid off? I seriously doubt anyone will sell you what you want for that amount of money.

I can tell you from 12 years of experience full-timing that even with a fairly new motorhome, you need to have a substantial amount of money put aside for repairs. For example, a tire for my rig costs about $340 and I have 6 tires, and a tire for a Class A would cost about double that. An oil change is at least $200, and repairs or replacement of things like furnaces, air conditioners, water pumps, toilets, etc cost not only the price of the thing to be replaced, but RV mechanics charge from $125 - $175 per hour, plus at least a base service fee of $100+ just to come to your location. You would be amazed at how many things there are on these very complex vehicles that will need to be replaced or fixed fairly often. And a 2008 model is almost certainly going to have a lot of things wrong with it, since there are a lot of people looking for RVs that are in good mechanical condition.

Without a substantial (several thousand $$) savings account for repairs, or being able to do repairs yourself, you will end up getting stuck on the highway or without needed systems in a campground.

My rig is 12 years old, but this year I have spent about $8,000 so far on engine, brakes, and internal RV system repairs or replacements. However, I worked two jobs for 22 years before I started full-timing, and I also continued working half time for the first 9 years of my travels, so I was able to put aside a substantial amount for my travels, but it is still a lot of money for me to spend on service of my vehicle.

I strongly suggest that you find a cheaper way to live while you get your bills paid off, and then revisit how much you can afford to spend on an RV. I wish you good luck in your efforts.
 
Maybe she needs a tent & a #5 washtub for laundry & baths. That's cheap living . But what do us Men & Husbands know except how to scam our wives per the OP
