I wished everyone getting into one of these Classics with the plan to drive it cross country, would read your post! I owned a 1983 SOB Class C that blew one of those lines. Nothing apparent during inspection, the corrosion was on the top.
Even with your diligent maintenance and indoor storage, age alone combined with some corrosive material set the stage for a disaster.
Brake and fuel lines should be mandatory replacement item, before a new owner hits the road, unless there is a verified paper trail with receipts.
Frankly, I don't care if a new "proud" owner of a classic Airstream Motorhome hits a tree because of their lack of due diligence, I am more concerned about them hurting innocent bystanders, including my family.
