Well in over a year I haven't seen one for less that was not beat

So this one is kinda what you want and you still haven't addressed your initial questions by providing any other info about it?
Not sure if you were looking for answers to your questions or maybe you got them??

For 12K you can find a lot newer MH.

I have yet to see ANY MH in this area newer in this size and shape for 12k,,,where are you guys seeing these "deals"

All I can say is if the dealer is warming you about all those things.. do not walk away from the deal.. RUN LIKE BLAZES away from the deal.

Idk want to say.....op obviously doesn't know much about vehicles and RVs but why are you guys all talking about different engines and different problems. Y'all could confuse anybody. No V10 in 1995. Probably a 460 fuel injected. Great engine. Presume the Winnie op is talking about is for sale elsewhere and a dealers opinion was given ad hoc.
Don't even know if it's a ford drive train, but maybe that's all Winnie used in those models? If it's a Chevy engine, those had some intake gasket issues around then. Regardless, no intake or exhaust problem is anywhere near a $5k repair.
To the op, don't worry about any triton engine issues if it's a 95. Get a mech to check it out. If the fridge works, it's fine, but yes I'd get $1500 for a new one.
At the end of the day you're buying an over 20 year old box on wheels. Idk how nice it looks, expect to have a few issues. Idk if $12k is a good deal, but know that with just a few things needed like tires, brakes, overdue maint or ??? It's not unreasonable to have to put a couple 3 grand into it.
Get someone who knows what they're doing to look at it for you to lessen the chances of getting bit by unseen things to you.

I had a '95 Coachmen with the Ford 460 V-8 and a stripped out rear exhaust manifold bolt. I used it for about a year before I got around to fixing it, and other than a bit of exhaust noise until it warmed up, it never gave me any trouble. It passed the NYS safety inspection with no problems except having to make the inspector look it up when he tried to tell me the catalytic converter was missing and needed to be installed. The F53's of that vintage did not have or need a cat...

If this and if that. The problems mentioned may or may not materialize. Regardless, I wouldn't take it back to that clown for anything. To get an honest estimate for the jobs mentioned, ask at a real garage.
