The worst areas for this kind of rig is upper bunk, and lower front panels just behind the cab. Pull the mattress out of the top and inspect the roof line and the floor line all around for problems.
Open all compartments and look carefully inside for wood rot, lack of attention, wetness.
If possible, inspect it after a good rainstorm. Run your hands around and detect the wet areas on the walls near the rooflines, under windows.
Looked for cracked sealant up on the roof, particularly where front and sides comes together. Roof might be filthy...not a good sign.
Check all tires. Many are put on inside out so you might have to get underneath to check the date code. Tires can easily look great, but be ten years old.
Run the furnace!! It should operate in almost any heat by turning up the thermostat.
and good luck with it....
