We have had a 2002 32' Itasca Horizon for 5 years and have been "half timing" in Mexico, it has about the same mileage, Freightliner Chassis, Allson Trans but the Cummins engine. The Onan 7.k KW is a great generator, but should be run under load (air or heat) for 30 to 60 minuted per month depending on the humidity.
He will also need to put some stabil in the fuel, especially if he doesn't take the rig for a drive or two.
As someone said you may find the fridge a bit small, ours is the Norcold 1201LRIM (double door) and there never seems to be enough room in it. If you are willing to shop every few days he should do fine unless you he has a big family.
He should probably take the rig out for a decent drive every 4 to 6 months, maybe even a few camping weekends.
As someone else mentioned perhaps a 5th wheel might be better for livability without worrying about the CAT siting idle. I'm not a fan of 5ers but that is partially because I don't do stairs well.
