Are they quite reliable and what sort of money are we talking about to get a decent one. And do some come as automatics.

Not because they are no good. They are. But the type you are talking about are damned expensive. A well looked after 20 or 30 yr old classic VW camper can fetch anything from £5 - 15k. They are more for the VW enthusiast.
As for rust, you will find that on far later model mh's which have simply been neglected by the owners. If it's surface rust, that can easily be sorted. If its panel rot you will be looking at welding and possible panel replacement. Choice of brand and make play a big part here. Buy some obscure mh/camper, and parts/panels will be expensive......
if available. Buy something which is 'common as muck' and parts will be plentiful and dirt cheap, plus you will have a regular source of used spares via local breakers yards.
