We bought an 8-year old coach in 2012 that had sat for I think 2 years. We were able to drive it home and then had our mechanic go through it because we wanted to take it to Alaska. He changed all the belts, hoses, fluids and filters. Gave it back to us and said. . . "I didn't change the fuel filter/pump because I would have had to drop the gas tank and didn't think you'd want me to do that." Okay. Shakedown cruise went great. Second time out, lost the fuel pump. Fortunately were close to a truck repair place and they ordered the pump and filter and dropped the drivetrain and fixed her all up. The gas that had been in it, was not treated when she was made to sit, so that was the culprit. We had the tank drained and cleaned out while they had it out. Once done, put in all new fuel and all was good. She went to Alaska and back and now, 9 years later I am still using her.
