Note I did not include any inspection or servicing of the engine and related components or the HVAC and other comfort systems.

The above list is off the top of my head but it should be the minimum amount done before considering a coach is ready to rock n roll. Having new TV's and LEDs will make it comfy and upgraded,(we did the same) but knowing the "heart" of the coach is solid and prepared will make for a better sleep and less anxiety when full timing, IMO.

Have fun!
As a matter of fact, I have done all that as soon as I got back to IL after I bought it. I did some homework and ended up taking my coach over to Insomniak Motorworkz in Lockport, IL and the owner (Ken) and I went through a long punch list of items to service and check from tires to generator. Every fluid and filter changed, hoses and belts checked, serviced the generator, checked brakes, drive-train, air system, etc. They went over it from head to toe. There are a few things I will do myself such as replace one of the furnace boards and install a new igniter for the propane side of the fridge, but all else was done by Insomniak. Great work, fast, thorough, professional and priced extremely fair.
