coach house 192 TB

I am thinking about buying a 1997 coach house camper van. My husband and I have a several RV's. He died a year ago, and I still would like to enjoy the rv life. I am OLD, but still a very good driver, and am fit. This coach has 30000 miles on it, and looks good in the pictures.
I am going to have to drive 300 miles to see it, so wanted your opinion of this coach. It is 19 ft. long, and totally self contained.
They are asking 18,500 for it. Would I be foolish to buy something that old? The mechanic that he took it to, I called. He said it was in excellent condition and could not see anything wrong. I have compared this to other like vans, and it seems to be priced well.
Please help me. THank you, Marlene

    Coach House made excellent Class B RV's; they moved to manufacturing Class C's around 2001, but their B's were always sought after. The price seems reasonable for the mileage, make sure the generator is in good shape and you should probably budget for new tires if they are six years old or more. If I remember correctly their B's were on the Dodge chassis, some people had issues with Dodge based RV's in handling. But we used to have a Pleasure Way Excel on the Dodge chassis and never had any problems with handling or anything else, the unit sounds good, maybe they will take a little less for a new tire allowance. You may also want to check Craigslist or other sources for other Coach House RV's of that vintage for price comparison. I sent you a PM on this unit.
