Xerofall,
Our coach is that age and unless you are a competent mechanic and technician, I can promise you that it will eat you alive. If it has no water damage, it can be a good deal.
You said that tires are new, but remember that they only live 5~7 years regardless of what they look like. Plan to replace all the rubber. That means fuel, coolant and brake lines. While you are doing the brake lines, count on flushing the brake system as well.
You have to start be thinking of it as a house on a truck. That is what you will be dealing with for as long as you own it.
I wish you luck and safe travel.
Matt
