My local GS&R team have an opportunity to acquire a Ford class C RV real cheap. It hasn't been started for 2 years and hasn't been on the road for 4 years. I/we wonder if the gas would be sour? We don't ethanol gas here. Are there any any other problems that might be concerning about this RV sitting that long?

Check the oil level.
Check the coolant level.
Check Break fluid level.
Check Steering fluid level.
Clean out the air filter.
Probably would be best to replace the fuel filter.
Check for wear on any belts   example: fan belt. 
If it's not too much of a hassle to drain the fuel, that would be good.
Other ways I think you are good to go. You can always fill up with some fresh fuel later on.

All old fluids should get replaced, along with new filters.
