Water leaks and or water damage are your biggest concern by far. You might start with a seal test to see how many water leaks it currently has. Once you have those under control, then start searching for previous water damage.
Next on the line IMHO would be to have the gas system pressure tested.
Everything else will come.
Yes during my search I came to realize most all of these older MHs have issues with leaks.
I drove several hundred miles looking at RVs while it was raining and shortly after heavy rains and inspected/drove about a dozen older Class Cs, most with active (wet) leaks and/or active mold.
We quickly learned to look under any new contact paper, under beds, in hard to access corners, etc..
The one I ended up purchasing did have some water damage in the section above the cab, but it had been fixed by the previous owner who also resealed the roof, windows etc.
While there is not any evidence that I could find of active leaks or mold, I am sure these will crop up.
When you say Gas system pressure test, I assume you are referring to the LP system.
Is this just a simple leak down test or is it more involved?
