1997 Class C Winnebago, 47,000 miles too old to buy?

I have a 21 year old 5th wheel. The exterior and interior look better that 50% of 10 year old units. Aluminum siding (smooth) and fiberglass caps hold up better than today's philan exteriors. No leaks ever. Take a buddy with you to look it over. He'll see more than you, because he won't have that level of excitement you'll have. Hell, ask the owner if you can sleep in it for a night to really get the feel of the unit.
