Water is a RV's greatest killer. Walk ALL OVER the floor and feel for soft spots.
Look for stains in the floor, walls, and ceiling.
Get up on the roof and check the caulking for cracking / missing sections.
Crawl underneath and look at the sub-floor.
After that - check the tires for age and tread wear. You can get the age off the DOT date code. If they're over 4-5 years old they should be replaced.
Figure on pulling the wheels to check the brakes and re-pack the bearings.
