DrewE mentioned the generator but I would expand that and say if it has less than 120 hours on it beware. Generators should be exercised under load at least once a month for at least an hour. And they cost a bunch to have repaired.
If the rig has been stored outdoors I would probably look carefully at the rubber around the doors to check for deterioration. If it is cracked or inflexible, you can be sure most of the hoses and rubber items are problems. I would also inspect the roof.
Of course, everything must be checked out by a pro as mentioned by others but I would get a good idea of maintenance based on the roof, rubbers and genset.
Does it have service records? If the oil wasn't changed by the calendar instead of by the mileage that can be trouble. Same with other fluids. Again, you can take a quick look at a few things and determine if you want to spend the money to have a pro rv person check it out as well as a mechanic for the chassis.
