The First Rule of RV.Net - ignore Bumpy - he is a one trick pony.
One the others;

I'd skip this one based on chassis along. This has the old Ford chassis with an aftermarket tag axle. That was a band-aid to help an overloaded chassis.

Same...OOPS - check the license plate - they're the same unit. This one screams scam.

At least it's a different coach this time, but it has the same aftermarket tag chassis. IMO, keep looking.

This one looks pretty decent. Looks pretty straight, no signs of leakage, no noticable delamination. One thing in the ad that is wrong is it does NOT have an Allison transmission.
Call me biased, but I'm a big fan of Newmar. We've owned (1) Winnie and (1) Fleetwood product, we've owned (3) Newmars, so take that for what it's worth.
For your budget I'd take a look at something like this;
http://www.rvtrader.com/listing/1998-Newmar-Dutch-Star-3865-110837661
Newmar quality, strong company, hung wall construction (can't delaminate), and a diesel pusher. Look around, they're are a fair amount of them available. The Dutchstar is a VERY highly respected coach by all accounts and is still being made today.
Good luck with the search - thats 1/2 the fun. :B
