What year MH models are too old to consider buying?

I see some low prices on some of the MHs, but they are from the 1990's and even older. I was wondering if I should stay away from older models like these?

Do they give worse gas mileage than the newer ones? Are the rides stiffer on the older ones? I know that technology has improved many things, but I do not know in what ways the newer RVs have improved.

    Really it is about the same as buying an older vehicle. They are cheaper and often uglier and may even need more mechanical work. But in the end, you usually will end up with something good that functions.

    By the way the 1988 and newer Ford F53 chassis all had fuel injection.
