A LOT of people will say "get it inspected", but very few are out there who just "know" who to inspect the RV. We hear that so much, but often I wonder where people find all these mysterious inspectors floating around.
Here's the scoop. I would get a mechanic (yes a regular mechanic) that you may know to inspect the coach if you don't know an official RV inspector. A mechanic will be able to tell you a lot of any mechanical issues. If they have a moderate head on their shoulders, they'll also be able to tell you if the roof is leaking, etc.
Of course this depends on the coach you are buying. A used Class A, sure I think a regular mechanic would be fine (so long as it is not loaded with tons of features). A very complicated and expensive diesel pusher - get on the interenet and find you an official mysterious RV inspector.
