I am not sure which coach you are look at so this is not directed at any particular coach but more to any coach that has been sitting for an extended time and is in "rough" shape, especially one with significant water damage. In any coach that has had extensive water intrusion, be aware of the potential for mold. Black mold remediation is not for the faint of heart. You can cover it up but it will come back if it is bad and not remediated properly. Do a title search (Carfax, AutoCheck, etc) to make sure it wasn't a salvage title at one time.
Some mechanical/electrical issues on a coach that has sat for several years should be expected. The tires and batteries alone can be in $5,000 - $10,000 (the higher amount if you use AGM's). I don't know how you plan on redoing the interior but Newell originally used top grade (high $) materials.
Engine, transmission, and brakes should be looked at in any coach that has been sitting. Refrigerator, air conditioning and Aqua Hot should be examined as those can be brought up to snuff with regular maintenance, or require thousands (or tens of thousands) of dollars each to repair/replace so make sure the drive train and electrical components work properly.
All that said, if things seem to be good in the above categories, $80,000 is significantly less expensive than any 2000 model 3 slide coach I have seen listed.
