Advice on a Class C for sale.

I am looking at a 2000 Jayco Designer 31' with 27k miles, new rubber roof and newer tires. Triton V10 engine. The unit is selling for $10,900 through private party. I have only looked at it from the outside. It's faded, but looks in average shape for that year. I plan to look at it in the next few days and take it for a drive. Does this seem like a decent deal on a decent RV? This is our first Class C, so it's new territory for me. I wouldn't have looked at one this old, but our budget likes the cost. We are looking at making a long trip this summer from Indiana to Utah, so I want to make sure it's up for the trip.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Low mileage is nice to own if the unit drives okay. However, many of the longer units are overloaded on the rear axle and under loaded on the front axle. Often times the ratio between wheelbase and overall length makes the unit hard to steer and stay in your lane. It would be nice to know why the low miles.
