Tires do not necessarily have to be replaced at 5 years BUT since it is a rental they probably do. With care the tires can last up to 10 years.
DO NOT BELIEVE ANY WORDS OUT OF CAMPING WORLD EMPLOYEES MOUTHS.
Most ESP's will not cover a unit over 10 years old.
The interior items are not what you have to worry about as much as the engine, powertrain. Take the rig to a good INDEPENDENT TRUCK MECHANIC for a good going over spend the $100 - 200 bucks for a check of the chassis. Then call a good mobile repair guy and spend the $75.00 for his service call to check the interior items, awning etc.
If it passes you should be good if there are any bad items then you have negotiating power if you still want the unit.
