Where was the RV stored? If it's not stored indoors or at least under a roof, I would rather strongly consider either having a consignment place sell it or else sell it yourself locally as-is, where-is. Four years of minimal or no maintenance could very well mean a good bit of water damage to the house structure and a whole lot of work and time and money to get it back into reasonably useful condition.
If the fuel tank is actually full or very nearly so, the diesel fuel should be okay. It's hard for water to condense in the tank when there's no space for moist air to enter. If it's not full, there could be some water in it and possibly some growth (not technically algae since such plants need light to grow). A mobile RV tech or truck tech might be the easiest way to get things sufficiently well running to safely drive to a repair place; there could be difficulties with the air system, sticking brakes, etc. as well.
