Hi Tom,

I once tried to put something like this together for my current motorhome and gave up because I just didn't want to go back in my paper history and transcribe everything to Excel. I don't type too fast and it's easy to be a little lazy.

This will be so nice to start with a new coach and clean slate.

Thanks for your efforts and enjoy your new coach. Mine will be in production between Thanksgiving break and Christmas break. There are tour slots open during that timeframe and we'd love to visit it on the line before paint. Just trying to find a few days when we can fit it all in.

Take care,
Stu

I appreciate the comments STU, please let me know if you can suggest some edits as you begin to use it and i will keep updating the public document so people can keep downloading it. Congrats on your new coach Stu! We too ordered the DEQ and leave Wednesday night to pick it up. I look forward to meeting you on the road some day!

Regarding the wheel end service, the first paragraph of 737 Drivers 1st post might benefit from a little clarification.

In short, replace the oil at a seal change, or brake relining, or 100,000 miles, or every year, whichever comes first.

At least to me, the paragraph read the brakes needed relining every year.

Most of us will bump into the annual requirement or the seal replacement first.

thanks for the clarification Matt!

Thanks Tom, I'm going to use this for my coach too.

Matt, thanks for the hint on how to PM.
I am also new to this forum. I picked up my 2017 Anthem last month and love the coach. I had a Fleetwood Expedition for over 10 years and liked it ok. The Anthem is simply leaps and bounds above the Expedition I ride quality, sound insulation, and just about everything else. We love it so far.
To all of you getting a new coach soon, congrats! I believe you will also truly enjoy it.

Tom,

Great reference document. A couple other maintenance items you could add are the DEF filter and the coalescing filter.

Tom,

Cummins say every 3-4th oil change for the coalescing filter. Cummins part # 5263190 for the ISL.

DEF filter is every 200,000 miles or 2 years (from Spartan). Cummins part number 5303604.
