Over the years I have spent countless hours researching various mobile dwellings, RV's and Motorhomes included. Here are some of my favorites that are comparably very well made, will hold their value and I would consider buying if I was looking for a home on the road that was perhaps undervalued.

1. Vixen 21 foot motorhome: this is one I would consider more as a daily driver/motorhome/home for 1. It's on the smaller side and it's fuel efficient engine really haunts me as our 40 foot bus conversion gets 7 MPG!

2. Bluebird Wanderlodge: most people know it, the only motorhome built by a school bus manufacturer on a school bus chassis, short of a coach bus conversion this rig stands above all the rest in terms of material choice and quality but you'll pay for it in maneuverability and MPG's. I see this rig as an alternative to a DIY skoolie, a Class A motorhome, and a step down from a Coach Bus conversion. You can take your whole family on the road in one of these for often $30K or less.

3. The Fleetwood RV from Jurassic Park! Yes that was a joke.

4. Safari Trek RV. If I wanted a normal looking, smaller motorhome this is the one I'm getting, hands down. Aluminum exterior, real wood interior, convertible bed which I've heard can be a PIA but it's a great idea, and a fuel efficient power train. If this had better ground clearance I'd be all over it.

5. Camelot Cruiser: No I wouldn't really buy this as a full time home on the road but imagine throwing a party for your friends in this beast!!!

6. GMC Motorhome: you've probably heard of it. There are plenty of these out there. If only you could swap a Cummins 5.9 or similar into this motorhome I think I'd be all over it. Even if you stick with the 5MPG gasoline Oldsmobile engine though you'll probably come out on top. The real issue with these rigs is that they're severely dated to the 70's and if that's not your style you'll spend a lot of money bringing it into the modern era. If you don't like the original condition of the rig you find I'd convert a school bus instead.

7. An Amphibious RV?! Yes that's another joke.

8. A Bigfoot RV is also dated, to the early 2000's this time but this is honestly a great value for a used Super C motorhome. Because of the E450 platform as well you've just got so much aftermarket suspension support for these rigs and with the powerstroke 7.3 it's just a great platform to live and travel in. It's also built with 4 seasons in mind, great insulation and molded fiberglass means leaks are rare. I would definitely be looking for one of these over a camper van or probably any other Class C motorhome.
