I think your time and energy would be better spent on learning the incidental maintenance tasks rather than trusting a dealer to keep everything correct. If you're unable to do maintenance, find a trusted independent mobile RV technician to perform the tasks.
It occurs to me that if service was done within the service intervals, a dealer's service department may just wave a wand over those items. There is no incentive for a dealer's service dept. to "go over" items they have previously checked. Unless, that is, they can make more money from the customer.
This is really good advice.
I have found that dealerships and even shops will give the job of repacking bearings to the lowest person in the shop. That person may have no experience and WILL screw the job up - BTDT!
I hate repacking but since I can't trust any body else to do it, I have to do it myself. Adjusting the brakes is another story; it's easy and clean to do so I am happy to do that.
Grease is good for your skin. :B
