Is this a 1,000 mile a day trip or 300 miles ? Either way, it should be fun. I hope not to exciting.
Smart tire move. No sales tax in OR.
Since your a gear head, I won't explain the details, but for me:
Fuel, check for water in the tank at the low point. drain and inspect before travel. Make a judgement on its quality. I second Richard on the oil and fuel filter changes at the start. Be prepared to change fuel a few more times. Algae, if present, is a pain to wash thru.
Belts. get a replacement set.
Secure the coach up with blocks/stands and drain the air tanks. There are several. Another Guru with a similar coach number can tell you how many.
I second the DOT pre trip check list.
Lastly, have an Uber or Lyft account as a last resort to get "dead on the road" back up and running
Congratulations.
Keep us posted, we all learn from each others experiences
