Check that the underside of the overhead is nice and solid, push up on the corners and if they move up any amount, also tap on the bottom if there is any rot the sound will change from a solid to a dull thudd, indicating mushy or roten materiel if so walk away from an expensive repair.
Should the corners move it means that there is a leak on the windows or marker lights, roof and is getting the frame wet, probably wood has now rotted away, also check the shower floor if any part of the floor feels musy it means rotten floor.
The engine, transmission and all else from the vehicle can be repaired, at a reasonable price, the wood and frame part of the coach can be a bottomless money pit.
If everything else checks ok you maybe on to something good.
Good luck.
