How to inspect furnace

I'm in the process of restoring a 1969 sovereign. I have not got into the furnace yet. Should I pull it out and can you pull the heat exchanger easy to inspect for cracks. If it works do you use it or because of age just go ahead and just replace it?

In the interest of safety, it's a good idea to simply replace it. It is possible to inspect it, but it is very hard to be sure it is in good condition.

A lot of this depends on where the trailer spent it's life. In the desert southwest, not too risky. In the heat and humidity in the south or pacific northwest, it gets risky.
