The checklists will help you out, but two big items I would look at immediately, check the exterior walls for any delamination (assuming fiberglass exterior). If they have ripples, waves, bubbles, that is an indicator. Delamination typically starts from water damage. Check the tires, the RV is 5 years old and probably rolling on original rubber. Trailer tires typically don't get enough miles to wear down the tread, but they still break down in strength, it's recommended that they be changed every 3-5 years. If the date stamp on them is more than a couple years old, use it to work a better price. You can probably get a better deal at a tire store than the dealer will try to charge for new tires, so get them to drop their price off of the RV and buy new tires out of pocket.
