V10?
If it's a V10 do NOT change the plugs. It is when they are changed that the plug problem can rear its ugly head. Which BTW tune up is at 100,000 miles per manufacturer.
Check the exhaust manifold and count the bolts and see how many are still there! :W
IMHO and if it were me from experience I would:
Have Calipers and brakes checked before heading out. AND replace the front brake lines.
Sadly I found out on the road that the brake lines can look perfect on the outside, but they fail INSIDE and collapse. You don't want to know what that feels like when they fail doing 65 and braking to exit. :(
Just saying what I would do if I bought it. That MH has VERY low miles which means it had to sit for some pretty long times and that is what is the kiss of death. Especially for the calipers, exhaust and tires. Good luck finding that 'perfect for you' RV!
