Jim,
I believe you did well, but believe me when I say that even a coach this new can nave age related issues. None should be expensive or hard to deal with if you get right to it....
You mentioned tires, don't miss that one.
Suspect all the rubber parts. Not just tires, but all the fuel, brake and coolant hoses may have age issues. Belts, buy them now so you have them on the road and change them out when it is convenient.
You should also get both the cooling system and the brake fluid flushed. The corrosion inhibitors in the coolant are probably long gone. Brake fluid absorbs water from the air and the corrosion it can cause is just not fun.
If you haven't seen anything that looks like water damage, that means you still need to get up on top and look for where it could start and fix it before it does start.
Next, spend the first night in the driveway. Then, map out the first hundred places to go on 4 hour drives for weekends away. In Michigan, that is an easy one.

Edit: I almost forgot...
One big rule about things it needs - If you didn't do it, it hasn't been done.
Start a maintenance log TODAY. It will not be long before all that stuff runs together and you can't remember when the last oil change was..
And another forgotten...
I seldom run into this anymore, but that coach is old enough that the fuel system is Pre-Gasahol. Without knowing specifics, there is a good chance that you will have serious fuel system trouble. All the rubber lines can be attacked by the alcohol (want to know how I learned this?) and you may well need to replace the fuel pump and have a competent shop rebuild the carburetor (I think it still had) with new crapahol tolerant parts.
All of this may sound like a lot, but this part of the adventure is required to make the coach reliable enough to travel and enjoy.
Matt - again
