Used "C" checklist after purchase?
After buying a used "C" (no final candidates yet as I'm still keeping my eye out), likely on an E-350/E-450 chassis, around 1-5 years old, assuming it was inspected and proven to be in sound mechanica...

Thank you for the responses. This is what I call the initial wave of purchases to get the rig road-ready. I do plan multiple rounds, including adding an accumulator tank, solar, inline hybrid inverter, Fantastic Vents, but this round of stuff is pretty much the first thing that gets done.
The reason I have replacing the carb on the list is that most generators have sat around and not touched, perhaps only for a few hours at a Wally World. I personally have not had much luck with SeaFoam, so just using a "rebuild kit" from Onan (i.e. a new carb) will take care of 90% of any generator issues.
I also forgot to put slide upkeep. Slide seals are the same rubber as tires, so after 5-6 years, they need replaced. If a slide awning isn't present, it gets added.
The reason I look to add this as soon as possible is to protect against water ingress.
