YIKES! After reading this, I think it best to stay away from Salvage Titles altogether! Locked rooms, arrests, etc. No thanks!
If you think it is a good deal, I would call the guy and request the seller get a "rebuilt" title. Once
he has a "rebuilt" title, then you are good to go. That is the proper and ethical way, as he is the rebuilder. Truthfully, you really do not want to get involved with a state inspection if you are not the person rebuilding it. You have no way of knowing what is on the vehicle and if all of those parts were obtained legally. If you are doing the rebuild, its a little different because it is under your control, so you would have receipts proving where you purchased the parts.
I know I keep hitting the scare button, but technically on an RV, the chances of someone using used parts is almost nil. In addition, the coach manufacturer does not serialize the structural parts of the coach. The serialized parts to a car are special numbers that are hidden in undisclosed locations, and must be viewed with heat or other methods. Coach builders aren't going to do that. The only thing that will be serialized would be chassis parts. I also knew the same was true with my Jeep, which is why I was not particularly worried, although it still is a little intimidating.
