Looks as though you're getting plenty of help with ideas here, so now, I'm assuming that the axles were pulled, so it could be towed and it's also a Chevy.

Well, you touched on an issue that has been bugging me actually. How do I tell what chasis it is built on? The manual I have for it is just for the RV itself and all things related to that just say, 'See Chasis Manual', but don't actually tell me what it is.
Yes, the axles were pulled for towing. The guy I bought it from was quite clear that he thought they had to be pulled to tow it. From searching online though, I've seen both ways suggested.
There seem to be pros and cons on both sides of the argument. I have no clue as to which is 'better' though.
Well, for beginners, does it have a bow tie or say Chevrolet on the steering wheel or Ford. Solid front axle or coil spring independent suspension and the latter belongs to Chevy, unless you have a rare P12, rather than the common P32 type. The engine should be a carb 460 V8 with the Ford or a carb 454 with the Chevy.
