The biggest thing is make sure there is no water damage. If you don't know what to look for...once you have a unit you think is good (do your best), make an offer contingent upon an inspection, then pay for a mobile RV tech to come out and look it over. Might cost you $100-150 but if it steers you away from a boondoggle, it's money well spent.
