Sorry for your troubles, but it's always good to see someone new to the full-time RV life. My wife and I have been rving for more years than she will let me say and finally we went full-time in 2019. We currently have a 30' class A, with a tow dolly for our van.
It sounds like your unit might need a little TLC, but as long as the drive train is sound, and serviced, and the house is dry, you've got a good start. You'll want to make sure both of the wastewater tanks are functional and both fresh water systems are working and no water leaks if you plan on boondocking. You'll probably want both shore power and generator for boondocking as well. You will probably want AC and heat for comfort. Refrigeration and cooking appliances are a high priority too.
All of this stuff is costly, but doesn't have to break the bank either. We fix what we can and have the rest done by people who do those things for a living. We don't live extravagant but comfortable. Good Luck with your project and we hope to see you on the road someday.
These tips are wonderful and thank you for taking the time to respond and with a warm welcome. I have a list in my head and your writing it clearly put pen to paper.
I hope we see each other on the road too. It may take me more than a few moments, but I will be there, following the night skies.
