OP, you don't say how old, how many miles or what work you're having done to it, or the condition of the vehicle.

To ease your mind, go drive it a bunch. It's 24' so you can drive it anywhere, which will probably help you become familiar with maneuvering it in traffic and tight areas. Also, putting some miles and hours on it will either reinforce it's reliability or potentially uncover items that need work.
Tell us about the rv and maybe you can get specific suggestions as to things that need attention due to age or miles or brand.
