Hello Everyone,
I am excited to get on the road, but I don't want to have any buyers remorse!
My recommendation - get something newer. At least 1999.
Newer usually means more gears in the transmission, better ability to run on ethanol, newer appliances, more safety features. Less chance of worn brake lines and corroded fuel pump rubbers and coach body leaks.
Newer also means better resale value when you get ready to sell or trade.
Looking in our local Craigslist I see several 1998 and newer low mileage Class C's and A's, in your price range.

Don't be in too much of a rush, find the right motorhome and the right seller and you'll usually come out much happier.
