Need a used coach from FOT checked out

Hi,
I'm not even a newbie at this point. Hubby and I are looking at a used U320 at FOT and wonder if anyone knows a reliable place to have it checked out before we make the trip from VA. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

The factory should be fairly proficient at this?

Nearly impossible to check every part in a large machine such as these.

Working every switch and button is a start.  Battery condition is important.

I normally replace all the batteries in any new to me coach from long experience.

Wiper blades and house water pump also.

Is that the Gold one with the odd ceiling.  If so it is a long time owner who ha it customer ordered. I thought it make the inside feel too close and that ceiling would be hard to clean if it gets dirty at all.  Also they put in a tile floor with a 01 slide. That means it can be scratched as it uses glides in the front.  Interesting coach but I went thru that one in april I think.  It was clean inside but needed some updating as the fridge was original although it worked and I would also think you would need to have the fuel lines looked at too and probably replaced but that would go for any coach of that vintage.  I would put that into any offer.  I came away with a closed in feeling when I was inside though.
