Older is fine if you're aware everything is old, age takes its toll on many things. We love our old 07 motorhome, but much needed to be replaced, it sat in a barn much of its life, so there's plenty of unseen rust. Funny how the local inspector didn't notice it, well it was nowhere on his report.
After replacing a rusty exhaust manifold, belts, hoses and filters it drives, rides and handles wonderfully.
The leveling hoses are rubber and old so they had bulges and have all been replaced, as well as the refrigerator, 2 A/Cs, water pump, inverter, batteries, you get the idea.
Big thing is many older units had/have quality build, ours is solid going down the road, no squeaks, no leaks, can run all day at 65-70 mph. It's perfect for us once we systematically replaced the older things that time and use wore out.
Best of luck, and with tools and utube many of us become far more mechanical than we could have ever imagined!
