No, not to my knowledge. The air dryer has a filter that normally would be replaced every "x" number of miles on a commercial truck, but the amount of use your coach gets, the filter will last a life time. The coach chassis has to be lubricated, including the braking components, but that is something the technician will do as part of your routine preventive maintenance.
(My coach is a 1993 and I replaced my MIdland air drier some 10 years ago just a preventive measure. When I took it apart, it was clean and didn't need to be replaced. I installed a new Bendix dryer. Since these dryers are used by garbage trucks that stop every 50 feet, they get a LOT of use. Even those trucks only replace the filter once a year.)
