We recently bought a Ford 450 V-10 Class C Tioga with 36000 miles. It has new rubber and batteries.what else should I have checked/replaced prior to our planned trip to Glacier and beyond? About 5000...

I would change the engine and generator oil and air filters, the rear end oil, the transmission oil, and have the front wheel bearings checked. I'd have the brakes looked at and maybe the brake fluid changed. If there's a drinking water filter, change it and sanitize the drinking water tank. Should probably do the engine belts also.
It may not be hot out yet, but it will get there so make sure the dash and roof air working and putting out cold air.
Check the water level in the batteries even if they are new.
If you have leveling jacks, make sure they work well and if you don't, get some leveling boards.
Does the awning work - no rips or holes.

What he said . . . 36,000 miles is a little early to be changing diff and trani fluid but being 11 years old it's probably a prudent or wise move . . .
If it has new rubber (as in recently done) I would make sure you have a torque wrench and check your lug nuts a few times along the way (especially over the course of a 5000 mile trip).
Have you used it yet ? If not maybe a quick weekend trip close by to make sure everything works (i.e.. ensure fridge/water heater/furnace etc works on both electric AND Propane) would make a lot of sense before heading out on a big trip . . .
