...With all that in mind, is it wise, necessary or a waste of money to get the following things done on yearly basis:
Wash and wax with a UV roof protectant. ~$220
Campingworld 45 point inspection ~$300
Maintenance on the water heater. ~$85
Maintenance on the AC. ~$100
Maintenance on the furnace. ~$149
Maintenance on the breaks and bearings. ~$300

we've never had a TT but annual maintenance on a MH and TT must be pretty close. my thoughts...
- wash/wax: at least once a year assuming you have a fiberglass body. every 6-mos would be my recommendation.
- personally I would stay away from CW service. what exactly is covered in their 45-pt inspection? if they're just looking at stuff and making a list of things that need repair or further maintenance then $300 seems way high. but as I said I would find another shop. if you have the list please post it or a link to their list.
- as for the AC, water heater and furnace...there's not much actual maintenance that needs to be done.
change or clean the air conditioner/furnace air filter(S);
inspect the water heater for spiders and webs (they're attracted to propane), if it's a dual ignition inspect the wiring and connectors to be sure they're clean and fitted properly, you might want to flush the water tank with the
appropriate tool although while doing that can't hurt I haven't found it necessary. I'd like to know exactly what "maintenance" is being done on those three items for $334. sounds very high to me.
don't know about TT brakes and whether they need actual service or just an inspection. anyone?
