We thought about selling and buying somthing smaller but after learning the value of ours, looking at smaller and knowing the condition of ours, it looks like we'll just keep what we have. With this in mind, we are wanting to get advise on some mant. issues. When reading the red, whitescripted and black roadmaster chassis mant., it's overwhelming to do everything they say on a yearly basis. I'm wondering which is for real and which was scripted to encourage returns to dealers to further their income. For example, cummins in 2009, perfored all service on on our 370. As of today we have about 4000 miles on that service. Cummins in Hubbard, ohio, assured me that oil and filters do not need replaced before 10000 miles. They check the chemical conditions of the radiator fluid each year and now say this fall we should flush and replace. My point in all this is I know the service manager personally so I know I'm getting the truth and not what is in the best interest of cummins. Another example. Allison is on the same property as cummins and they told me, the transmission needs no attention before 100000 miles. I new an old diesel mechanic that use to service my equipment years ago saying "If it ant't on the floor, it's in the truck". Thanks for letting me vent on this subject and I'm quessing comments will be varied. It's hard for those without a mechanical background to not constantly worry and fret about these mant. books that they're not relaxing and enjoying their motorhome.
Thanks again (56CORVETTE)
