Our van was older, but we got the full history paperwork, everything from the catalogue to the curtain care pamphlet, and the owners handbook which is like a car log book, check the chassis number against the log book.to be sure it matches. you could try google search to see if that chassis number comes up as stolen etc, but we didnt, it was very obviously owned by the same people since 1984. This is what the log book looks like
page 2 has the hand written details from the original dealer etc

You could make a note of the chassis number etc and consider registering it on one of the free websites like www.immobilise.com or get it cris registered. If there are any etchings on the windows make sure they match the log book/cris registration site
Make sure you try it all out , from towing to using the gas an electric/water systems, especially private sales, like a car they are an unknown quantity and things can stop working unbeknown to the owners. Maybe buy a touch only damp metre off ebay, and check all areas.
