One challenge of Medi-cal is that they do offer managed care but it varies by county and can take multipe months to get on a managed care plan (I know this because it happened with my kids last year). It is painful to deal with the slowness of the process and the value of various providers...

We are 5th wheel owners. I would recommend getting an inspection if you plan to buy used. Also double check the pricing. We were suprised at how many sellers priced used units barely under a new price and stated "all you have to do is pay off our loan balance". These things depreciate fast...
