Owned seveval used MHs. Watch out for low milers, as they have sat and will be prone to all kinds of little problems.
I buy a MH with 130,000 miles over the same year with 30,000 mile.
Check the dot date on the tires, its located on 1 side of tire sidewall.
Most exspenive items are the frig,AC, and the leveling system.
older coachs will have more dry rot on the gaskets, slide replacement gaskets can run a few hundred dollars.
Close inspection of the roof is inportant to, as that's another exspenive item
Overall perform a close inspection on all areas of the MH.
When buying a coach from the original owner, it's normaly been taken care of.
Enjoy; the older ones are great, but it helps if your handy, or a lottery winner
