Harry a lot of Maintenance one can do themselves. The ones you cannot do or do not want to do have it done. This is the great thing about this forum everyone is trying to help each other. Some of the guys on this forum know about as much about Newells as the factory. The great thing about Newells is that when you spend you money you are spending on something well built and that you are proud of. The price per hour is about $110.00 and it doesn't matter weather it is a $200,000 motor home or a $30,000 motor home it still the same hourly wages. When you look to buy a coach look for one that has been taken care of and maintained and has not been abused. You will be money ahead.
I have a place here in Nac. that will change my oil for $50.00. There is about 10 gals. of this stuff and he disposes of it for me. There are ones on the forum that would not think of spending that for an oil change. 10 years ago I wouldn't either. But now that I am older is worth it to me. I do furnish the oil and filters. I buy the oil through out the year when I can find it on sale. I do grease the chassis myself and other things I like to do. So a lot of this is up to you as to how much you like to get your hand dirty.
