When we picked ours up we were provided a 3 page list of the items that were reconditioned/replaced during the refurbishment. I double-checked and it appears accurate. I was also lucky enough to receive the repair order records, showing among other things, a complete frontend rebuild (tie rod ends, ball joints, etc). This had been done just two weeks prior during refurbishment also, and showed $800 worth of work from a Ford dealer. There was nothing wrong with the RV when we got it, and it drove great. There was a complete set of BRAND NEW tires on it also, and they were top name brand, not cheapy knockoffs like car dealers put on. I have yet to find anything wrong with it.
As I do with ALL of my used vehicles that I purchase because I cannot be certain what the previous owner did, I took it in and had ALL fluids and filters changed out. I also did the serpentine belt as it appeared original and it is the last thing you want coming off. Sure, you can carry a spare, but I challenge you to replace one on the side of a dusty road in less than a day minimum. They are a royal pain to get to in the E series to say the least. I have not yet done a "tuneup" as it runs great now and if it gets to a point that it isn't running efficient due to worn plugs/wires etc to a point that it is an issue, you will usually get the check engine light to tell you to start replacing things.
I do not like to brag too much about the deals Cruise seems to give on RV's that just a couple of years ago MSRP'd at 4 times what I paid, because if EVERYONE bought their RV's the deals would not be near as good as they are now. But I do cringe when I see people drive off a dealer lot in the same basic rig as mine but have paid $20000 plus more than I did. When you talk to them they say "at least mine wasn't abused by a bunch of renters, that is why I dished out 10's of thousands more." I always wonder how they know the previous owners of the rigs they bought didn't do the same. And WHAT kind of private party refurbishes the rig and puts all new tires and other parts on it prior to trading it? NONE.
