If it were us, I would find a way to buy a much newer rig for the usage you are planning. If the seller is completely honest about repairs and replacements made, that is a good thing. Brakes are very important, the flexible front brake lines should have been replaced, they can fail internally causing loss of steering control, brake fluid should be flushed/replaced as old fluid may have collected moisture which causes brake fade on grades. Make sure RV generator starts and runs well with roof AC working. House batteries and converter charger must work well for electronic appliance controls, furnace blower, fresh water pump and interior lighting. Engine cooling system including radiator must function properly or engine will overheat on grades. Don't want to be a "wet blanket" but don't want you to be stuck somewhere needing seriously expensive repairs.
