Lots of great info here. We bought ours at 18 months old and just 6,000 miles. Two years and 22,000+ miles later we have had no rude surprises. In addition to the above tips I would have the brake fluid flushed/replaced.
Add some Sea Foam to the gas tank and then run the genny hard (under a full load), for several hours, turing it off and on a few times and letting it sit for a few minutes before restarting. This would be a good way to test all of your AC appliances and might just avoid the need to rebuild the carb. If you have some hard rain coming take it out and drive it at highway speeds for an hour or so as this will be a great "leak detector".
Buying low mileage/lightly used is the hands down the best way to get a great coach for a bargain price. They are cheaper to register and insure and in some states there is no sales tax on private party sales. Savings of 20 - 50% can easily be had over the cost of the same unit new.
