Welcome Macgyver, in my opinion it really doesn't matter how many miles are on the engine, more importantly how it was maintained and if it was ever overheated or ran low on oil etc. Your best bet would be to have the oils anylized.
As with the DDEC I have heard there was a lot of issues with the DDEC I, either mechanical or DDEC II or better was the better system for these engines. Hope this helps, good luck and hope to hear more on your purchase of a Newell Coach!!
