If you are not qualified enough to make a thorough exam of the coach, consider buying the services of a RV shop to do it. Generally the money saved will most often be much more than you might need to put out. Before driving it home it would also be best to have it thoroughly serviced (oil change, fluid checks, chassis lube, front wheel bearings, belts and hoses) so you do not get surprised on the road. You can't really be sure the previous owner was diligent about those things and once it's yours, you need to take the responsibility.
X1, I would NOT buy a used RV without taking it to your trusted RV shop and pay for a complete inspection of the RV and all of the systems i.e. electrical, water, plumbing, heating , appliances etc. If there are issues that need repair you will be aware and more importantly the costs to fix any issues. This will enable you negotiate the buying costs of the RV.
