Bill, the engine needs to be serviced every 10,000 miles, chassis lubed every 5,000 miles. The genny would need service every 250 hrs. (if I'm not mistaken). I have the Aqua-Hot serviced every other year as the nozzle looked brand new after a one year replacement a couple of times, so I moved to a two year schedule. The fuel filter is also changed at that time.
I change my two water filters every six months. The red-hat valve that allows you to fill the fresh water tank from the shore water needs to be exercised regularly. I'm on my second replacement as it got stuck and wouldn't switch back to regular incoming water (to sinks, toilet, etc.).
The macerator should be cleaned periodically. Easy to do. I would probably do that first or try it with the gray water tank to see if it works. Don't get stuck with the black water and macerator not working... messy.
Over 65,000 miles and 7 yrs. of ownership, we have averaged 7.2 mpg. Our toad weighs 3,500 lbs. and the coach weighs 40,039 lbs. at the last weigh in.
