I am pretty convinced that a used rental is likely to be less trouble than a used one from a dealer or private owner. Now of course, if you can find a rare cream puff that a knowledgeable, handy owner with OCD is selling, that's different. Class C's are entry level RVs and used ones can have a lot of hidden flaws.
An inspection would be great. After you buy it, if you could budget say $1000 for a self employed RV repair guy to do preventative maintenance on all of the appliances and exterior seams, I think it would be money well spent. Probably won't cost that much, but I'm saying it as a budget.
Also do a search on tire date codes. The general idea is if the codes show the tires are over 5 years old, figure on replacing them regardless of how they look. On a C it is not a huge cost, but probably $700 and up depending on tire brand, sale prices, etc. You could also have a truck mechanic do a thorough check and maintenance of the chassis. I think with the ex-rentals, a lot of this is already done.
