Just got my Bounder back from the local Ford dealer. Annual inspection requirements drive me there, and since an oil change is $30, I let them do that also.
I have them look at the belts and hoses, since that is not covered in the inspection process. This year they replaced the serpentine belt since it was beginning to show wear after 12 years and 42K miles. Cost was about $120.
Every three years I take the Bounder to a truck service/repair place and have them do the inspection, service and also have the generator serviced, since they can do generators and the Ford dealer does not.
I do my house and chassis battery maintenance in the spring, check the levels and make sure no corrosion is present. I also check the roof A/Cs to ensure the bolts are tight.
