Sitting for a few years means more to go wrong unfortunately. Throttle body injection of course means on-board computer, wires that could have been chewed by mice, etc. This is not the kind of thing that you want to spend time guessing about or throwing parts into. Once you get that thing running, I would suggest with the help of a knowledgeable mechanic, go through that rig with a fine toothed comb when it comes to the safety issues that can go bad, i.e., propane refrig, water heater. Tires will have to be replaced due to age. This is the flip side of not buying new but it can be done. I have a close relative that bought a 20 year old rig for a very low price. A few years later something went terribly wrong on a camping trip. It caught fire and was a total loss. Thank God, no one was inside or near it when it happened.
