Getting older MH road ready

I am getting an older MH from my mother. It has been sitting for quite a while. She thinks everything works but of course some things need to be done to get it moving again. I know I need to do new tires but what r some of the first things needed to even get the engine started. Any info appreciated. I will be having a mechanic look at it but need to get it there first. Thanks

    The usual answer is check all the belts and hoses, and change all the fluids
    Warm up the engine then change the oil, the coolant etc..put on new belts for water pump fan alternator, could be one belt or multiple depending on what engine what year, replace batteries, both the engine start and the house batteries,
    Lube all grease fittings etc.
