You could remove a panel and see if you can troubleshoot the electrical side but with the typical RV furnace that has not operated for years, it's better to pull it out and inspect it thoroughly. Besides the blower being locked up from rust or debris, you want to make sure the burner and heat chamber are in good shape.
Do you know what your most common typical problems are why the furnace might not work
If a previous owner had left it unused and used the tape because there was a water ingress issue, you may have a lot of problems with the light steel pieces the furnace is made of.
If you're in MN, come on over and I'll give you a '71 furnace, condition unknown but is all in one piece.
That brings up another aspect--alternative heaters if the one you have isn't working. I installed one that doesn't use any electrical, just a space heater with a gas ring. It is one of the better decisions I made. If your water heater is in good shape, you could use a hydronic heat exchanger with fan for the occasional chilly night.
