1988 Ford, it will be a 5.8 (351) and by '88 they were all fuel-injected. Expect typical mechanical issues common on a 30 year old vehicle.

During that time period, vehicles were in that sort of purgatory where they depended on electronics and computers to make them run, but before they had the standard OBD2 diagnostics. House condition is probably even more important, but Lazy Daze are among the best built, so it's much more likely to be in acceptable condition than other motorhomes of that vintage.
