1995 Tioga Montara
I am looking at a 1995 Tioga Montara its the 29/30 footer, it looks good inside and out however I know its 20 years old and I guess any of the systems could break at any moment (stove, fridge, Ac etc)...

You seem to have realistic expectations. Have the engine cooling system, brakes, including front flex lines and fluid change , compression, transmission and steering/suspension checked and get estimates on replacements/repairs needed to make a decision to buy or not. Make sure that RV generator and converter charger, fridge and dash and roof AC are working properly and no water leak damage. Check awning fabric. If tires are over 4 years old by imprinted date codes, they'll need to be replaced for the safety of your rig and your safety.
An old rig can cost $10K+ in repairs the first year to get it fully usable for touring and camping not to mention delays/problems on the road.
The safety gear should be good it has a new safety sticker on it so brakes, suspension, steering, exhaust etc should all be ok, says it has all new tires on it so they should be good.
One of the things holding me back is it does not have a generator and does not appear to be pre-wired for one. which if my understanding is correct if its not setup for one its not worth the cost or work to add one. This is a real negative for me as most of its use will not be in parks with hookups.
Thanks
