Old RVs are cheap to buy for the same reason old boats are cheap: they require shitloads of money thrown at them regularly in order to be livable/operational. Or they turn into shitboxes pronto.
It's a decent solution, actually. Relatively cheap,

I rent in an affluent neighborhood in LA (no rent raise in 9 years, so just banking and investing the cash--another story), and I enjoy the random '70s Winnebagos that turn up on our streets for a few weeks at a time. Beats the tent cities and bums straight up taking a shit in front of you.
People on my block are paying $1.5mill for 1400 sqft houses on 6000sqft lots and they have to put up with Ye Olde Orange and Brown Striped F-17 squatting on their curb . . . often with a generator loudly humming away for hours at a time and the reek of sour piss from the sewer line. Well worth $1k/sqft!

It's a decent solution, actually. Relatively cheap, safe, and self-contained, just needs services and a place to park. Perhaps the government should be actively encouraging Winnebagos for the homeless.
What is the cost of a used Winnebago or camper van vs the cost of public housing or housing shelters?
