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 ...

It depends on the size of your coach. A bigger coach requires a bigger engine which usually use more fluids and filters. I have a coach with a C7 Cat which holds 5 gallons of oil but change it every 7000 miles. I use synthetic oil at $16.00 a gallon= $80.00 plus a Cat filter at $16.50, I grease the chassis myself, I usually figure about 15000 mile to change the fuel filter which is about $26.00. Then a diesel with air brakes have a air dryer filter which I run for 3 years, which is about $180.00 Some of these things probably could probably go longer but don't like to have problems on the road. tires are going to be higher for a DP as they generally are larger and have a higher rating. I couldn't tell for a gasser as I have never owned one.:)
