With a "new" old home, I'd want to look at a couple of things first:

Check the tires. Tires which have been standing in the sun or are more than a few years old are subject to UV aging, and typically get cracks in the sidewalls. Blowouts are a PIA.

Is the fire extinguisher up to date?

Is the propane system up to snuff without leaks.

Do all the smoke and other alarms have new batteries, and do they work properly?

Are the coach batteries good enough to take you over the night, does the emergeny start switch work?

How are the hoses and belts? At ten years, they may need replacement.

Are the wiper blades in good shape?

When was the last time the transmission was serviced?

How's the caulking, both around the roof, and at other joints around the coach. Taking on water while driving is not fun.

If you have air brakes, is that system in good shape, or do you have air loss?

Do you have a driver's license that qualifies you to drive the coach in your state?
