First off you will have $2000.00 in tires unless you are lucky and the tires are less than 7 years old (no matter how much tread is left) one blowout's damage can exceed the price of 6 new tires.
Probably new shocks, grease the bearings, change the transmission oil (because it has never been done), change brake fluid (should be done every 10 years as the boiling point of the brake fluid gets lower every year till it boils away. New hoses onboard even if you do not change them as sometimes it can be a few days to get parts specially on long weekends.
Lots of things need doing even n a good older used RV. SO it will not be cheap unless you are very lucky
