Small MH: Older Airstream v. newer SOB

[Jan]

We, a 50-60ish couple, are exploring buying a smaller MH, say in the 22’ – 25’ range. We looked at a used 34-foot Airstream classic and it was WAY too big for us -- but all smaller Airstream MH’s seem quite old.

So…we wonder....how would an older Airstream MH (Argosy?) stack up against a newer, used SOB?

It’s just for the two of us, poking around the country, exploring parks and cities. We’re both clueless at mechanical things ourselves, but are diligent about having maintenance done (our’87 Volvo we bought used in ’88 is still in great shape.)

Budget we’re thinking about is up to $20K - $30K. Any ideas or suggestions?
