I have been looking for the perfect Class C since May and still haven't found it. The market here in the Northwet is still very hot and everything is way overpriced. The only RVs that don't sell are those with big problems and even those are overpriced. A good one disappears very quickly. My plan is to wait until the season is over and then restart my search. Besides leaks, check for DLAM. I have seen several units with that problem and it isn't cheap to fix. I have come to the decision to buy newer rather than the price range you are in because it is very rare to find a well kept older RV. I would rather pay for a higher mileage RV that is well kept than a low mileage unit that has been neglected.
The advice given here has been good so far. The only thing I'd add is given that your drive is not level, make sure that the overhang behind the rear wheels won't drag as you come into or out of your driveway.
I'd hold no fear about a Ford V10. I had one in my '99 F250 and found it to be very reliable and powerful. Mileage in an RV will be realistically 7-8 MPG with some exceptions on both ends. Happy hunting!
