Simple question?

I've found a 2003 Monaco that meets our criteria but we have only seen pictures. It's powered by a Cummins 400hp engine and has 125000 miles on it. Price is mid 60's without any negotiating. It's a 2 day drive to see it so I was just wondering if it would be worth the drive to see it. The 400hp is one of the attractions. What do you think?
Thanks.

    No way can I see myself spending $60,000+ for anything without a hands and eyes on inspection. Simple answer.

    Edit: on rereading your question I think I misinterpreted. You did not ask if you should buy it sight unseen. My confusion and apology.

    125k for the cummins isn't an issue, but the rest of the chassis would bear close inspection. air ride, brakes, steering stuff, all could have issues. coach and appliance is a biggy too.
