Take it to a mechanic that deals with large trucks and have them give it a complete going over, it will probably cost $200-300 but it will be money well spent. If there is one in your area, also take it to a good RV coach mechanic and have them give it a good looking over, another $300-400. Between these two inspections you will have a good idea if it is in good shape or just good looking on the surface. We have an 86 Fleetwood Southwind and when they were done I knew what was going to need fixing and if the $2900 we paid for it was worth it. We bought it, had the mechanic fix the brake system, fuel system,and generator, the coach problems I could fix myself. Better to spend some money up front than get stuck with something that is an escapee from the junk yard.
