I really wanted either an Airstream B190 or a Lazy Daze 22’ or 26’ w/rear bed. It helped to filter results. Otherwise, I was chasing after too many RVs, plus I needed to research them all.
Narrowing down to a few, I knew better what to look for. I also joined the B190 Enthusiasts forum. Lots of listings and discussions of repairs and upgrades.
I looked and looked, thinking I’d get a Lazy Daze for around $3-4k. By the time I had the money, the only ones available were 2-3x more, even though it was fall. Finally found a B190 on the forum. They usually go for $15-20k and even more since I live in CA. Mine was $6500 and an hour away.
Now, I wanted something built. I had a series of injuries, no one to help, and no tools for a build. It sounds like you have time and the ability/tools for a build. I saw tons of vans here for $1000-2000 when I was looking.
Fleet vehicles are also a good option: state, county, city, School districts, large companies, handymen and trades. Most seem to be white.
Good luck in your search!
