And you're going to LAKE OROVILLE!!! That beautiful place is worth it all! We were there last month and it was gorgeous! Water up where it should be. A couple years ago it was like 1/4 mile down the ramp to the water.
We follow the advice earlier in the thread: Pray Often and Carry a Credit Card. There is good in all the maintenance you've done. Just be aware of the Waddington Effect. Simply stated, You can go Too Far.
If you have the time, take the oil level plug out of the rear axle. Lube should be about 1/2" down. It's magnetic so wipe it off and look for metal. There may be a little metal "dust." When you can, change that oil to 75W-140 Full Synthetic. Got mine at Walmart, SuperTech brand. For this trip, just make sure it's full.
