Annual Maintenance: Gasser vs Diesel Pusher

Another research question. What are the annual maintenance requirements and costs for your coach, be it gas or diesel powered? Also, do you perform the work yourself or have it performed by someone else?

We mainly want to know about the chassis/engine portion of the coach. We have a 5th Wheel and know about the "house" portion and those annual requirements.

Thanks again everyone!

It depends on what you want to include in "maintanance and costs". If I include mods and improvements as well as every dime spent to repair and maintain, it comes to $1200/year over 10 years. General maintenance if nothing breaks is less than $100/year. I do most of the work myself except for heavy chassis work like headers, suspension and front end work. House work like refer,HWH,levelers,etc and general chassis work like fluid changes, tuneups, eng timing etc I have done myself. To travel in the MH I average $70-$100/day depending on gas prices.
