Hello, all. Hoping for some insight.
A YouTuber recently purchased a modified 1984 M939 for $70k with intentions of dropping another $30k to renovate the interior for road trips. His fan base is having much fun roasting him for it, arguing a $100k RV would have been a better purchase.
He typically live streams his road trips, but the poor suspension and loud interior make streaming from it nearly impossible. Other issues include having to pop the hood to start it.
(Video includes mature language and inept individuals)

Less than 24 hours after picking it up, it broke down. The seller is supposedly fixing it and addressing the aforementioned issues. My question for you; how wise was this purchase? Did he overpay? Should the M939's poor safety record be a concern?
