My folks had a 1976 HR 5th wheel. Built like a BSH. They towed it all over the US, Canada, and even into Mexico. Never had an issue.
As far as suspension goes, what they had then was similar to what they have now. Perhaps not interchangeable parts, but similar. Replace the wheel bearings. Put new brakes on it. New springs would probably be in order. Of course new bushings and equalizers. I'd suggest a rubber type equalizer and a wet bolt kit. If it has the original brake wiring I'd replace that.
And like was already said, it's probably in better shape than some stuff on the dealer's lot.
