From personal experience I would not recommend buying a rig if the original manufacturer is no longer in business. It can be difficult to find original replacement parts like tail light lenses and other proprietary exterior items. That said, original or usable replacement interior items can can usually be found at RV parts supply stores. Most original owners manuals are generic and do not contain "housebox" detailed maintenance, trouble shooting and repair info or chassis/drivetrain maintenance and troubleshooting info. A factory or Chilton's van manual should be available for those purposes.
I guess that depends on the former manufacturers. My old 93 29' Cobra Passport parts, interior and exterior were as easy to find as a simple Google search right down to the tail lenses and wheel trimmings. I did have trouble finding some ford engine parts, throttle linkage to be more specific; ford only made my design for one year. I had to fabricate some parts due to squirrel damage.
