I'd vote for fluids and filters each year. The only need to remove the unit is for thermostat, water pump, and on some a fan belt.

There's not a great deal holding these units in place, fuel, electric out (120v). Electric controls, and a few nuts and bolts. Using a floor jack and 2 furniture dollies, and some blocks of wood not a big deal.
Let me know if you need more info.
