Advice Traveling in a 1987 Georgie Boy

I would try to get a newer model (1991) with overdrive and fuel injection. Do several small trips to shake out any bugs before heading cross country.

If you are a competent shade tree mechanic with time, it could work just fine.

No mechanical skill/interest, it could consume you.

Right on point. If it truly has been taken care of and you have the skills/tools/interest in doing the necessary maintenance/repairs it will work out just fine. If you don't have this level of commitment - RUN not walk from it.

A big factor in your decision should be the age of the tires. Since you have no idea of how well maintained the tires where and whether they sat in the sun baking
any tire over 5-6 years old should be very suspect. IN fact I would buy new steer tires if the ones on the rig are over 5 years old.
Look on the tire for the DOT date if you do not know how to find it someone here will show you

We did 8K 31 day trip to Pacific Ocean in 2011 in our 1993 GBM 32' Class A.

Brett's reply is on target. We put some time and money in prepping our MH for the trip. We had a roof leak that started at the radio antenna so make sure you walk the roof. Soft spots in roof is a sign of leaking we learned.
