The first thing I would ask or if it is still parked where they lived in it is......""did they leave the black tank valve open during the time they lived in it""?

Correct way is to leave valve closed and let tank fill up and then dump as needed. You can leave the sewer hose attached to it but CLOSE the valve.
Just saying check it out. Good luck I hope you find just the right RV for your needs! :C
