The MH looks like it is in good shape and well cared for from the photos. Having an 18 year old MH the things I would look at is leaking exhaust manifolds you don't say if it is a Ford or Chevy but both are prone to leaking. This not only creates excessive heat in the eng compartment but can the life of the transmission also. If it had headers installed this would be a plus and I would be worth a premium to me. Look at the ride height in the front springs if it is a Chevy chassis, if low HD springs would be in order. Also check rear suspension, front end parts and tire wear that would indicate front end problems. As others have said check for leaks and delaminations(coin tap suspected areas). Be prepared to spent another $5000 to upgrade,modify, and fix after you buy it. All the other systems can be fixed of replaced. It is a short MH so I would check how it rides, many caution about poor rides in a short MH. If every thing checks out this could be a good MH for you with only 45k on the OD you can easily double that. Good luck with your search.
