What do you usually have to pay for annual service to DP?
I have a DP with a 350 HP diesel. Just did my annual maintenance at my local Cat dealer. Just wondering what others pay for the service. This did not include the Onan genny.

Basically. I paid for a total of four filters, 5.8 gallons of oil, lub job. I think there are two oil filters, one fuel filter and one air filter. Two hrs, labor was added and the total was $386.
I just had a sense of security (false or not), knowing the mechanic was a caterpillar mechanic who knew what he was doing.
I was not surprised, just curious to compare with what others have paid. I bought the coach used and it was serviced for the previous owner exactly one year ago by the same shop.
Know where all your lube points are, zerk fitting and spot check. I had one on my fan shroud hub that was being over looked because you could only access it through the bed room closet floor. I remind them every time and let them know I will put the floor cover back on, leave it off. Make sure you know what's being done and doesn't hurt to spot check. Your price seemed about right.
X2 on the Fan Hub Bearing, mine was neglected by previous owners and Maint techs and on our first long trip across the US it failed at 37,000 miles and cost about $1700 in repairs and a 3 day breakdown in a parking lot in Mobile AL in JULY! Luckily we didn't loose the radiator.
