Fluid Flush and Fill on P32 w/ 8.1?
I bought a 2002 P32 platform motorhome with an 8.1 Vortec last fall, and plan to get all the fluids flushed and filled before taking it on a multi-thousand mile trip this summer as I do not have a full service history on this coach. I do know the oil was changed by the previous owner just before I bought it, since then I have put about 1,600 miles on the odometer and maybe 40 hours on the generator.
My question is how much should I expect to pay for a full fluid flush and fill excluding the brakes? (already had that done to the tune of $400 from the local rip off RV independent shop when the fill cap came loose on the master cylinder)
I ask because the local quick lube plus light mechanic work shop says they offer full fluid and flush, but I don't yet have a price quote. (They do typical oil shop stuff, plus radiator / transmission flush, air conditioner service, etc., I have known the owner for about 25 years, ...)

p.s. I say rip off RV shop for more reasons than the price they charged for flush and fill, they also tried to sell me a new chassis battery because they let mine drain down by leaving lights on over the weekend in their yard and had to charge it back up. Plus everyone in town will tell you a horror story about dealing with them, unfortunately they are the only game in town, and when you are a mile away and your brakes start getting spongy they seem like a good option.
