I would also add, look for anything that looks like it might be used to cover something. Like in our used montana a double recliner was put over a rotted spot in the rear corners. aluminum flashing was put behind the recliner in the corners of the floor and the walls, along the walls to cover water getting in. It actually caused more damage then letting the walls air out. If they would have just fixed the problems, which were obvious, it wouldn't have turned into such a big problem.
Another thing is the seams between the fiberglass and the metal flashing at the bottom. If you see bulges, there is a problem.
Look at anywhere there are bolts on the outside such as where the awning attaches. Are the loose at all? take an adjustable wrench to test. If they are, water has gotten in, and may still be.
Look at the windows. Is the black rubber split and shrunk?
Ceiling - look at any vents, antennae,AC, skylights, etc any brown marks or soft spots?
Roof - cracks or just dirty? How does the dicor and butyl tape look? Edges where the rubber roof meets the fiberglass is it pulling away or torn?
Electrical - test lights, outlets (bring a quick tester with the three lights), slideouts operation, DC and AC lights.
Furnace - you might need to bring your own propane tank.
Water lines - are there any obvious leaks and have they been winterized?
Jacks - do they function?
These can be fixed, but it all depends on how much you want to put into it.
Slideout floor - soft at edges of wall/corner? Carpet unfortunately can mask these problems.
