If it's in good condition, I would. I may do just that thing next year, in fact; and I took my nearly 20 year old class C to Alaska and back to Vermont a few years ago.
The technology for the house part of an RV hasn't changed all that much in the past 20 years; the appliances and systems are very much similar on new units, with not many exceptions. Converters have improved some; and entertainment/TV systems are different now, and there may be the odd gizmo that's popular now but was not previously, but otherwise...not much has changed. The chassis I think would be pretty nearly the same as a modern chassis, the engine and transmission a generation or two older but still computer controlled and fuel injected and generally reliable. Things that go wrong with the chassis are the usual sorts of things that happen to older vehicles, and not too hard to check or fix: ball joints, brakes, hoses, belts, that sort of thing.
Of course, everyone has their own level of comfort with these sorts of adventures; but plenty of people make long-distance trips in not too new vehicles.
