Cody -
The potential bugaboo in older trailers is always wood rot. The shells were framed with wood up until about 2002, and if water ever got into the shells, it would rot the wood. There are lots of discussions about how to detect it and what to do about it - just use the Search tool on the word "rot".
Beyond that, look for soft spots in the floors.
Try all the appliances. Make sure the air conditioner cools. Make sure the refrig gets cold - it will take several hours for the freezer to start to become cold, so ask the seller to turn it on several hours before you arrive.
Set up trailer, nice and level. The lower edges of the shells should extend straight and level toward each other. Sag in the ends of the shells is not a good thing.
Expect to replace tires and battery. If it has 13" tires, you might want to spring for 14" wheels and tires.
Not too much more than that.
