new to rv life.
I'm new to the whole rv life. I haven't bought one yet but I looked at a 97 Dutchman for $4700. Outside is in really good condition but the pilot won't light for the fridge. I'm just wondering if it's...

Probably, though in that price range, condition is everything. I have seen mid-90s RVs that looked new and have tons of upgrades, and some that I would be afraid to drive OR sleep in!
Look for signs of leaks or body delamination.
Engine or transmission replacement would likely be more than the $4700. Tires are expensive - check condition AND manufacturing date. Generator problems might mean a couple thousand.
Many people replace the fridge with a residential type. Repair might be just a cleaning of the pilot.
Most of the rest of the stuff, batteries, water heater, furnace, etc., are hundreds to replace and not thousands.
