Given your description of the coach, it may take a year or more to make it camping worthy. If your bride is like mine, don't even think about taking her inside until the interior is livable.I am pretty sure if I bought it, I would just air up the tires and drive it home on them slowly (I only live about 15 miles away in a rural area). I would wait to buy new tires until I completed going all through the rig. It looks like I should figure $3-$4k for tires. I am sure it needs all new batteries, but would likely only replace the battery/ies required to start it initially and buy the house batteries later. I have no clue at this point on what type or how many batteries it requires?
The point is, that the tires will be ageing while you work on it. You might think about getting some takeoffs from a big truck tire place. Use them to get the coach home, and then fit the coach with good tires when you have it in useable condition.
