PM before trip

We will be heading out for our summer trip in about 6 weeks, plan to be gone about 5 months and about 7000 miles.
I’m trying to get all my PM done; can anyone see what I may have missed?

8.1 engine 2002 P-32, Winnebago Sightseer 30-B
19,000 miles when bought –42,000 miles now

New tires -Goodyear 670RV, last year @ 34,000 miles
Transmission PM service, Last year @ 34,000 miles
Rear end oil changed, last year @ 34,000 miles
New GM spark plug wires and GM plugs on the road last year @ about 36,000 miles

I had a wheel alignment and Henderson Super Steer bellcranks done @ 30,000 miles.
Safe-T – Plus was installed when we bought it.

Things I will do this week and next.
Oil change and lub.DIY
Replace air cleaner-DIY
Replace coolant-DIY
Flush brake fluid

I don’t want to miss anything; it’s so much easier to take care of things here at home then on the road.
Thanks for any input.

Greg

I would add to your list: Check windshield wiper blades, Check/service generator.

I also use RainX on the windshield once a year but that is just personal preference.

I still hold a German Passport, so I have to vote for German Beer. But I guess I will settle for Canadian for now.

Well I got the brakes flushed today and had the tech check the serpentine belt, He said it looked fine. I do carry a spare belt with me, just in case.
I forgot to list I did the generator PM last week. The wiper blades work well so I guess we are ready to roll.

Thanks a lot guys for your help.
