Low mileage issue
I've read many times that low mileage on a Class C is not necessarily a good thing. What are the issues due to low usage? What do you consider to be too low mileage on say, a 10 year old MH? O...

Although it's somewhat contrary to the accepted wisdom here, at least according to some, I think there's no inherent problem with low miles. Hoses and belts and tires and other rubber parts can and do wear out after, say, ten years due to age, low or medium or high miles. I rather doubt that a ten year old belt or whatever with 50K miles is going to be in better shape than a ten year old belt with 10K miles. I'd even say much the same thing for brake calipers; there's a reasonable chance that any ten year old caliper is going to be sticky and may need to be rebuilt or replaced.
If the caulking and other maintenance items have not been attended to, that of course is a significant problem; and if not being driven much does in fact also mean not receiving proper periodic maintenance (as is sometimes the case), then avoid due to the lack of that maintenance. On the other hand, it may just mean that it hasn't been driven very far which is no big deal in my opinion.
In short: I would look at the condition, and more or less ignore the number on the odometer on its own.
