Thanks to everyone who posted their comments on my question. All the
responses were very helpful in making up a checklist.

I am sure that others will have a much longer list of items but, I would
want to check out:

Refrigerator to make sure that it works on all settings (AC, DC, and
propane) if it uses all three.
Water pump -- make sure it is working
Hot water heater -- make sure it heats on all sources (AC, propane) and
lights correctly on propane.
AC -- comes on and is cooling
Heater -- comes on and is working correctly
Run the generator and make sure it is working correctly
Would like to see all of the oil changes, air filter changes, etc -- the
maintance records for the engine, generator, and the transmission.
Check all lights in the coach and in the luggage compartments
Check the "auto" part of the air conditioning
Also have maintance records for any "fixes" (slides, leaks, etc) been
maintained.
Look inside of the coach for any signs of water leaks (discolored ceiling,
etc.)
How old are batteries in the coach.

Again, I am sure that others will have a better listing of items to check
but, this is a list that I would start with.
