Hello All:
I am a member of the Country Coach group and normally just read and learn. My wife and I have a 2006 Holiday Rambler Endeavor. My wife and I looked, for a time, at the Country Coach products and this is how I began to follow your Yahoo page. I realize we drive different manufacturer's products but I would think our need is the same for some sort of comprehensive maintenance schedule.
In looking at the owner's manual for my coach, I started wondering why Monaco did not include a comprehensive maintenance schedule. I may be missing it, but I find lube specifications on one page. A blank lined sheet showing columns for lube categories but no comprehensive maintenance schedule. I have also looked through the files section of both the Monacoers and Ramblin_Pushers Yahoo pages and found some information but nothing comprehensive.
We know our coaches are a collection of sub-assemblies and each sub-assembly comes with it's own manual and maintenance recommendations. We have stairs that should be lubed according to the manufacturer, the generator has hourly and time values for servicing, the chassis has other requirements and then the engine has it's own separate set of criteria. These are just to name a few, let alone maintenance that needs to be done to the tires, doors, appliances, etc, cook surfaces, etc.
So is there a single source of information to which someone could go and keep up with all their service records. That would be both mileage, time and hours based. I found something that is similar to what I am asking, but it is also lacking. Before I create so, mething, I thought I would ask what other people use. Right now I use a log book and keep up with the major mileage milestones and repeat many things based upon a 6 month schedule. It just seems the collective minds of these groups should already have or could use such a tool.
Any thoughts??

We just use a spreadsheet in Open Office with the item, mileage, last and next due dates or mileage and with a section for who performed the service and any notes we need to make. Works for us. Can sort any of the columns for easy view of what's next.

We have a new to us 2006 allure 470 42' Siskiyou Summit, purchased last sept.
Is there a similar spread sheet for it? I tried to find one on the cc web site but failed.
Thanks

Maintenance isn't that different between models and years. Use that sheet as a base and just update fields to match your coach requirements.
