You can do a pretty good inspection yourself. Check the big ticket items:
Ford Specific:
Transmission Repairs or upgrade 3K
Exhaust Manifold bolts: Most Fords will need this 1K - 3K
Rear Suspension - Look at Moreryde Springs for condition
Spark Plugs and Ignition Coils - V10 issue 800 - 1K Correct Torque is important

Chinook House Issues:
Look for water intrusion around door and rear hatch
Check the fridge is working correctly and circuit board has been updated
Hotwater Heater is working, drain and change cathode
Check for no leaks around water pump under couch
Upgrade the converter
Start Furnace and House AC let each run for 20 min
Start Generator and run AC
Plug into shore power and run Fridge, AC all at the same time
Look on roof and check seal coating around all screws. If in poor condition may be a sign current owner did not do much preventative maint
