You may be looking at this from the wrong direction. I would suggest that you firstly decide what you are looking to do with the coach..dry-camping..weekend use..full time use. Now you should decide what power plant you want. Once you make those decisions and how much you are willing to spend then the age and size should fall into place.
I agree with the previous posts, an older coach may need up-grades and repairs. These can be challenging but if you have the knowledge and the skill will be very gratifying.
