Mileage does not matter like it used to - generally speaking, roads & lubricants are so much better.
High mileage may mean it was dependable & the owner wasn't afraid to use it.
Low mileage may mean it was in the shop so much that they were afraid to use it . . .
More important to me is the current condition of the machine. Bad maintenance or abuse can ruin anything- new or old.
Lack of records do not mean no maintenance - Receipts don't guarantee the work was done properly OR to that coach.
LOOK at what is before you - AND - As with any used vehicle, be ready for doing unexpected repairs.
