I'm wondering what type of additional maintenance may be required on a retired rental, especially one of the high mileage units from Cruise America (currently minimum of 120K miles).
I would assume the unit would have new or very good tires, any known problems fixed on the truck and/or camper, etc. But, I'm thinking about things like hoses and serpentine belts. Are these normally replaced by the seller? To my knowledge the answer is: if it is a safety issue then it is serviced, otherwise no.

Thanks in advance for any comments or suggestions.

When I bought my Cruise America rental in 2011 I was told by the salesperson that CA puts new tires on the RV when it is taken out of the rental fleet and put up for sale. My tire are dated 2010.
Expect to do the 100,000 mile maintenance service, and then some.
Here is a link to a post of mine the contains several links to the work that I had done on the motorhome. Some of the links include price information.
On 9 May 2013 I had the all 10 spark plugs and all 10 plug boots replaced for about $350 USD. Note: this did not include the coil packs - which are about $75 each. Coil packs only need to be replaced as they fail.
Here is a link about the spark plugs.
