Good choices you are making. The plugs are a bit delicate so I would let somebody with the right tools, anti-seize and the know how to change them. Book says 100k. 60k is a lot of heating and cooling on the insulator that has a tendency to blow out rendering your V-10 a No-10. Brakes are often overlooked until a problem arises. Brake fluid loves water and water causes rust to form in steel brake lines. I would have that changed for sure and the brake calipers looked over and checked for sticking. Fuel system service is a money maker, do it yourself. Plenty of additives out there that will clean up your fuel system without damage. A tank of High Test from a reputable fuel vender will also clean things up. Belts, hoses, a new thermostat and a real good look at the rubbers in the suspension system will give you an idea how things are on the chassis. While you are under there, take a good look at the exhaust system. Had more than one fall apart on a long trip with my original Winnebago Brave. Sounded like a dragster by the time I got home.
Transmission flush would be a good investment in you piece of mind. When they drop the pan for the filter change you will get an idea on how bands and clutch plates are wearing by the amount of junk in the pan. the torque convert hold a sh--load of fluid and needs to be flushed to do the job right. Any legitimate transmission shop will do it for you and then you will know. Good luck with your rig and Seeya on the road.
