There is nothing wrong with the model in and of itself. It all depends on the condition.
We have a '98 2720 and we are thrilled with it. We bought it with the exact same intention. We figured we camp with it for awhile, then buy a later model. However, now that we have it, we're quite satisfied with it.
The later models have all aluminum tube frames but that doesn't mean that there's anything wrong with the wood frames as long as you keep them caulked. The later models also the AC on the front roof.
Like any other 12-year-old camper, check all of the appliances and be sure that they work. Have the owner show you that it opens easily. Check the manufacturer date on the tires (figure on replacing them if they're 5+ years old).
Why would I NOT want to buy a 1997 3023 ?
