I have a 2008 Country Coach Affinity. Great coach, great physical condition. But now it is 6.5 years ago (purchased early 2007) and has not been used in the last year or so.I am planning on a long trip to Alaska in April/May and a few short trips in the next few months.What should I get serviced and where? The coach is in Las Vegas. I feel that I should get the engine oil/coolant/etc done by a Freightliner or someone that services trucks (it has a Cummins engine) and I also think it is time for change all of the tires (again, probably a truck shop?)Can someone recommend a truck shop? Do these guys know what the checklist is for servicing this coach? Does anyone have access to this checklist? I probably need to also change instahot coolant, generator oil, ??.Should I change: engine batteries and the coach (deep cycle) batteries?

Agree with George's checklist above. If you can find a Cummins CoachCare certified shop in your area, they should be able to do all of that except the tires. Most any commercial truck tire shop can replace your tires. I'd also replace my serpentine belt on the engine just for good measure. We just got our 6 year old Allure and I did all the stuff on George's list along with new serpentine belt and had the differential lube changed.

Want a short trip? Drive it up to CC in Oregon and cruise about in your toad as CC themselves does the servicing

I kept the used belt for sure as an emergency backup.I most definitely would want a belt to take on the road with me if I were headed to Alaska but dont really know if its necessary to change one ASAP.

Rafo, if you are a member of FMCA (Family Motor Coach Assc.) you can go through the Michelin program. I just did that with our coach buying 8 new 295/80r/22.5 tires. Pete's tire service (chain out west) gave me $50 each for the take-off's.Get that coach on the road and enjoy!MM.

Why not take your Affinity to Country Coach? They know what to service on your coach, and they have experts there--they will take good care of your coach. They also have a parking area where you can stay at night while they're working on your coach.
P.S. Take good care of it--we'll be looking for a newer coach in a couple of years!;)

Same thing I said..????
