Brakes, fluids, hoses and belts. Lube the chassis and work your way up. Everything on the roof should be resealed.
While you're doing this look at everything, sooner or later you will need to know where a fuse panel or valve is. Mental notes of these locations will make life a lot easier.
Most RV manuals are a stack of appliance manuals and a chassis manual. Search for the appliance manufacturer and model number, Bryant RV is a great place to start.
Same for the chassis, engine will give you the manufacturer and you can search from there.

Welcome aboard. It's always nice to have another vintage HR owner. Is this a trailer or a motorhome?
Also, how about putting some more information about yourself in your profile? This is a pretty friendly bunch, and we kind of like to know a little about each other. It's just down home neighborly.
