What do you consider common maintenance items? Also, if one is not familiar with repair/maintenance could I not do more harm than good including possibly dangerous work? I'm 78 years old and doubt that I could start learning a maintenance trade at my age. Also, at 78 even in good shape, these old bones don't respond very well to what is required for various maintenance tasks.
If you take a little time to learn, no reason to expect more harm than good.
Nothing wrong if you want to farm it out but it's still a very good idea to learn what is involved in doing a good job. Lots of "professional" RV maintenance work, even by name brand dealers, is really lousy.
PS: someone suggested using a mobile tech for warranty work. Good luck with that. Most dealers don't offer mobile unless things have gotten really ugly first. The standard is you bring it to them and they work on it when they get around to it.
