     If there is the smell of air fresheners perhaps to cover up musty smells might be a warning that the results of a water leak is being covered up. If the camper has a slide check seals and check tires if it has been sitting for a long time in dirt could damage tires.

Thank you all for the wonderful suggestions.  I can be a little anal, so I'll have my prepared checksheet of everything I want to check...it's so easy to forget about checking some things without it.

Best of luck on your purchase if you decide to go for it. There is some good advice in the replies and it sounds like you have enough experience with RVs to know your way around them. 

One last bit of advice: They are probably more motivated to sell than you are to buy, so don't be afraid to go in low on the price based on the history of the unit and the things that could go wrong. I am the guy everyone hates who always comes in with lowball offers and I am perfectly okay with that. It's not like the RV has a ton of history and memories associated with it.

Just to close the loop on this topic, we were supposed to go see this trailer today but the owner sold it yesterday to another party.  Disappointed, but now I don't have to worry about storing two trailers over the winter.
