Ozone is present inside any storage facility just like it is outside. It has nothing to do with sunshine. If you store your vehicle in a facility that also has some electrical motors, you probably have additional ozone being generated.
In any case, many vehicles travel every day with 10+ year old tires. Usually these are vehicles that are NOT loaded anywhere near their maximum gross weight. Obviously this puts less stress on the tires.
Most motor home are operated at close to the maximum load capacity all of the time which means that your tires are continuously stressed to their maximum capabilities.
You might be OK and you might not. You might have a blow-out and lose control, or you may not. Losing control may destroy your coach or it may destroy someone elses vehicle, or it may not. Your money, your choice. Chose wisely.
