buying older TT...as tiny home
Ok, So my plan is to buy a TT (5th wheel or bumper pull) that I will basically park full time on my mothers property and live in as my residence. I will T off her well water, run electric from her ...

I've watched a few episodes of Tiny House Hunters on HGTV, and often wondered why not just buy a trailer for way less that that homebuilt tiny house on wheels. Most people on the show do exactly like you are referring to (yes in some places it's allowed and others it's not). I've even seen some towed into some campgrounds and then again wonder how much more that thing must weigh than a comparable size trailer.
I like your idea, but would probably try to tie into the city sewer or figure out a septic that meets code as others have stated.
On to your question... Seeing as you aren't planning on dragging it all over that makes it so you don't have to worry about frame and suspension structure as much. I would look more at insulation and dual pane windows and that the cabinets are still in good shape, and for water damage and that the layout works for you. Most mechanicals are the same in most RV's like Dometic and Norcold and Atwood appliances so other than checking that those are working I don't think looking for specific brand RV is a worry in your situation.
