Michel,
If you are going to use it any distance, plan on replacing all (and I mean ALL) the rubber parts before you are dead on the side of the road - or just plain dead. I am talking about all the rubber parts, belts, hoses (especially fuel lines and brake hoses) and everything else. This may not be expensive as you can do most of it. Get the cooling system and the brake fluid flushed too.
I am also in the process of changing my coach from 8.75x16.5 to 225X16.

Allthe fluids are new. Fuel line is new. All wheel bearings are new so are the muffler, pipe, spark plugs and filters. I saw yesterday that I have to replace the rubber bushing under the motor.
Motor running like new and no rust under the "van".
Battery is new so is the auxiliary battery. Just bought a deep cycle today, need one more to complete my solar circuit. These four replace the old one. I did not replace the 4 back rim and tire but the front one are now LT225r16 (E) on "new" 16 rim. I was lucky to find 2 rim in a scrap yard and there are more if I want to change all my wheels.
Next step will be to replace all 1156 light in the camper by led light.
(Sorry if my english is not perfect. I am french speaking... but my mother was born in US. )
Thanks for your advice. I will double check all rubbers on the coach.
