I am considering purchasing a 1984 Foretravel Coach, with a Cat 3208 engine.

Could anyone advise me what to look for in that year of a coach that would make it a bad buy, or should I not bother with something that old, and save up for a more modern one?

Nothing wrong with an older unit if it was maintained. I would take it to a dealer and have it checked over first, Tires generator, air bags etc. not as much to go wrong with the older coaches no slides etc. If all checks out and is a good buy go for it! Ron
