Spartan maintenance course?

Anyone care to comment on what is covered in the course Spartan does in Charlotte? I have signed up for the course and was asked if I wanted to have my coach checked over in the week before the course, I assume that means they look at their portion of the coach and see that the alignment, frame connections, brakes and drive are correct.

I know many have gone to Charlotte and listened to Big Mike, anyone had their coach checked over before or during?

Thanks, Bob

We went twice for service,which included new tires,alignment and their 44 pt inspection...the first time on our last MADP I was quite impressed with their service and what they found....Went again last year got 2 tires and a half ass 44 pt inspection..including what I thought I had a air leak..they said all good..billed me for somebody' elses coach and a week later stuck in Ct with the air leak they said i didn't have
just bought a new MADP and had choice of Spartan of Freightliner..went with Fl...Chuck
think Spartan is all tied up with Entegra and their problems

I think the inspection is very worthwhile. I've been through this course twice with two coaches and both times they found and fixed items needing attention. The course is very informative and the people running it are excellent.

I highly recommend the course and having Spartan service their chassis. Can't beat the factory for knowledge.

Newmar owners I have talked with said the Spartan training was excellent. FL train not as much info. on their coach and more on RVing in general.
