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

Hi,

I purchased a 1987 unit in 2000. I replaced all hoses and belts, but one hose was no longer available. By 2005 I was having difficulty getting parts for the engine. It was a Ford chassis.

I would suggest that 1997 is a bit too old for a Ford chassis, as the V-10 became the "standard" in 1999. I'd buy no older than 2004 due to the spitting out of spark plugs before that time frame.
