I’m late to the party.

I prefer (and forty-five years of experience tells me) that for lowest overall cost (as fuel is but one part; generally half) drivetrain separate from RV works best. Why? Majority of hours of use are ALWAYS when parked. The right trailer can last decades. The motive power can be changed as desired.

Building new looks great on paper. But years go by. Even an non- extensive renovation can be two plus years given a working man’s available hours.

Get something that will re-sell quickly. That should be focus (in my opinion) while your boys are still at home. (Can take six months or more to sell a nice RV at a fair price in USA). So whatever the choice of type, get the brand in demand. This removes the end of ownership pains.

Good luck!!
