The bit about it just being broken in is nothing but a sales line trying to convince any buyer that diesel motors last forever. If you read this forum you will find that diesel engines, just like gas engines can and do have problems, regardless of the mileage.
Did the owner have complete service and maintenance records indicating that all required service has been performed. If he did the work himself, you now have to trust a total stranger that he had the mechanical ability to perform the service according to the manufacturers specs.
The 9-10 MPG even in the mountains is stretching the truth, especially if he was towing. I would expect closer to 8 mpg.
Aluminum sidewalls can delaminate. What causes delamination is not the material but a failure of the glue used to bond the outer skin to the foam core. This will appear as a waviness on the aluminum skin rather than a perfectly flat surface.
Personally I like the mileage since it does show that the coach was used a little more than average, rather than spending most of it's life sitting in one location.
The inspection that you are having done will probably uncover any issues with the HOUSE but you probably need to take it to a truck service facility to inspect the engine, transmission, and chassis suspension components.
I would be concerned about any rubber hoses and belts in the engine bay that may have deteriorated in the last 20 years, as well as shocks.
