If there is any way to get a "mechanical inspection" done before paying for it, do that. Next, try for an RV expert to check the House side so you know what you must fix for what money, or can live without fixing.
Assuming you can afford whatever the mechanical inspection reveals, once fixed, it should be no more of a risk than any vehicle for cross-country.
Make sure you have Good Sam Road Side or equivalent!!!! That is key for your scenario.
the House side is a mix of must have working and things you can live with not working. Some are easy fixes, some appliance repairs can be expensive when they can't find the problem right away.
You can have "car trouble" with any age of vehicle. For a cross-country all you need is road-side insurance and a Visa card with a huge credit limit. Also a cell phone with no time limit when the road side insurance puts you on hold while they find you some help.
You need to be able to house your pets too, if the MH is in the garage over a weekend someplace along the way. Some motels will, some won't.
