Stan909 makes some great points. IF you are handy and like to tinker with things, you can do a lot yourself. I will tell you this for what it is worth: there are several things about our 96 RT 190P I still miss when I compare it to our 210P. Personally, I loved the Dodge. It is, of course, a matter of personal preference.
It also depends to a great extent on how you are going to use the Roadtrek. Think that through carefully. Will you use the shower? Will you sleep in it? What will you put in the refrig?
Personally, the price seems perfectly reasonable to me for a one owner, garaged, low mileage Roadtrek fifteen years old. You could find one for less, but not one that met those criteria. I wouldn't miss the deal thinking I was paying a couple of grand too much. I don't think you are paying too much, although an inspection as some have suggested might give you a bargaining position to say "look what I am going to have to spend on this to get it into good order".
Just my thoughts. Incidentally, if it is the little Dodge 5.2 aka a 318 that is what I had and I climbed the Rockies from New Mexico to Montana with it and had no problems. If it is the 360, so much the better.
