Thought I had 15 but it's 29 hours. I asked ITR at the FMCA rally about service with so few hours and was told to skip a year. I bought the 5 year kit to keep with me.

So I looked at our meter yesterday....

To my surprise, it had 728 hours on it. My guess is that number was driven by a bad control board that was on there and replaced last year. I had discovered that the combustion fan would start up randomly even though the burner switches were off. ITR determined it was a bad board and it was replaced by the dealer.

if you want to roll it back, it is very simple. Remove the hour meter, and apply reverse polarity of 12v to it.

Set an alarm clock for 712hrs from now, and it will read what you think it should be.

197.7 hrs since Feb 2016 cpu.

So its been 8 months since I posted that I had 807 hours of usage on my Oasis burner. I now have 1077 hours, an increase of 270 hours.

On the one hand it seems like a lot given what others have posted, but given that when I'm not using the coach (about 7 months out of the year) I like to keep it environmentally controlled. During the winter months of non-use I heat the coach using the Oasis burner instead of the electric elements (AC1/AC2) and during the summer I use the heat pumps.

I had also mentioned that I had the control board replaced around the 807 hour timeframe. I've had no issues since.

I've only done the annual service once so far. It's on my short term list of things to do again. Given the three year mark will arrive in December, I may wait until that time and just do the three year maintenance instead.

Makes my 190 hrs on a 10/1/2018 delivery seem like I hardly use mine.

Btw, I originally posted that I was doing the annual service. I decided not to, and only changed the fuel filter in the generator bay. Even that was unnecessary.

I just discovered my hour meter last week while replacing a pump. 206 hrs since a ay 2016. I wish I knew what it read a year ago when I bought the coach.

I also wish there was a published maintenance spec based on hours instead of annual and five year maintenance. It would make a lot more sense.

2019 Mountain Aire - We have 174hrs. About the only time we've camped in cold weather was last December when we were in Nappanee.

We camp South of the Mason-Dixon Line and have 168 hrs. It was on this Spring for the rare Arctic Blast. Then an unusually cold December trip in the Smokies.
