We have a 13 year old Newmar. We take good care of it and do not hesitate to take it on long trips. We typically take a month long trip each year with week long trips throughout the year. You are more likely to have issues with house systems than the engine and transmission. Refrigerators, heat pumps, hot water heaters, etc, may need to be replaced at some point. If upgrades to the TVs and the satellite dish have not been done, you will need to do that. The other thing to look at is the condition of the paint. If it has sat outside its whole life, it may need a paint job.
Also make sure there is no paint checking - search the forum for paint checking and you will get a lot of info. If there is paint checking, you may have to replace the sidewalls if that is possible with that coach.
IT is also nice to have a coach where the manufacturer is still in business, although many systems are common across many different brands of coaches. Newmar has been very helpful.
