hi tom,
sounds like a nice coach. a few thoughts. take it for a drive. for as long of a drive as they will let you in as many conditions of road as you can. see if it drives smooth and straight and rides nice.
i am a big fan of getting fluid samples tested (both genny and main engine). there are a few folks on this forum that wish they had done that.
it is cheap to get oil, tranny, radiator, differential samples. i use the local cat lab and draw the samples myself.
look hard for any water intrusions. around windows, skylights, etc.
tires and batteries can run you 10k. easy. if you use agm batteries.
try as many of the systems as you can yourself.
