My OPINION is the engine and tranny are good for more miles than you will ever put on it, if they have had any maintenance at all. Do you have a VMSPc? if so, take it with you, hook it up and drive it for 50 miles, you'll know if anything is seriously wrong with the engine or tranny.

Suspension components wear, so there is a possibility of replacing tie rod ends, shocks, bushings, and such, but this is not a bank breaking experience.

You can judge for yourself the wear and tear on the interior. Unless the coach has been mistreated, you will find time just as big a factor as mileage on all the components except for engine and tranny.

You have an 88, how has it stood up to time in your opinion?

The coach has several upgrades which the owner will tell you about for a coach of it's vintage. One, the front cap is the later model style. Two, most of our vintage have the zipdee manual awning, this one has an electric.

Perhaps you could negotiate the removal of that funny looking OU stuff, or maybe not depending on your allegiance.
