Is it the windshield or the window above in the overhead bed? Either way you should be able to have it replaced. The windshield is a standard Ford van and the overhead is flat glass but should be safety glass.

Not gonna touch this one. You are looking at an old motorhome that will obviously need some work to be SAFE. Get it safe FIRST before strapping in little children.

That is for you to decide, but for something that old - not much. Just to pull a number out of the sky, $3000. You can easily put that much more into it just to make it safe and reliable.

Nope. 10mpg is an optomistic figure especially since it is not running well at this point.

Depends on what you consider "expensive". Motorhomes are second only to boats as being a hole you throw you money into. If you buy this (or any motorhome) thinking it will be cheap to own, you WILL be dissapointed. All that said the rewards can be well worth it.
