BTW, I edited my info above on the Newell Coach. I was trying to go too much by memory which is not a good thing.
Two years ago (June 2012), our Dynasty developed a leak in the heater hose. I caught it in time and stopped at the Cummins Central Power Coach Care in Kansas City, MO. Lucky, lucky, that is a fantastic facility. I've been back twice for other service as they know what they are doing.
The heater hose was rubbing against the engine and wore a hole in the hose. A protector was missing during manufacturing which caused the problem but it took 50,000 miles for it to happen!
If I were buying an older coach and didn't have all the service records, I would bite the bullet and zero out the coach (all hoses and fluids, wheel bearings greased, chassis lube, etc.). You just don't want to have problems on the road. And in almost 69,000 miles, we have never been stranded along the road.
