Where is the best place to find a classic RV for sale?

Hi everyone. Sorry if this is in the wrong place. Obviously I am new to your ranks.

I am very interested in purchasing a cheap ($1000 tops) classic Winnebago motorhome and I am having a lot of difficulty finding one. I started a wanted ad on here already. I am specifically looking for 1960's and 1970's RV's no longer than 22 feet in drive-able condition that need major refurbishing in the living space. I want to start this rv as a project with my brother and update/modernize a classic RV on a small budget.

Does anyone know of any websites or places in Eastern PA or the surrounding tri-state area (NY and NJ) that would have what I am looking for?

Thanks!
~Chef

Chefsp0t, I would recommend checking 2 locations, other than your local want ads. Check Craigs List and E-Bay. These are real good sources for those type vehicles. Also, RV.Net has an old RV section you can discuss this in.

Good luck.

I would look on the internet for a used one out in the west. The weather conditions are not as harsh so you might be able to find one in better shape.

In Los Angeles, Ca, on the corner of Vernon Ave. and San Pedro St.
The guy sells them for less than $1500.00, usually between 1050-1300.

Thanks for all the replies! I have checked ebay and CL but I will keep watching them. I am thinking that the people with old RVs in their yard probably aren't computer savvy.

Good advice on looking for something in better climates but unless I was buying something that would survive a thousand mile trip I'd like to find something closer to home.

I will check out the paper shop and rv.net.
