Coach Care vrs. CC for engine R & M.

Yahoo Message Number: 3867
My Intrigue has set for about 4 months plugged in to 30 amp service at my home in western Oregon. Temperate weather. I start the generator about once per month and the engine about once every 2 months or so. Based upon all the info I've read on the group this past coupla weeks I took the coach out for a spin today for about 20 miles. It WAS great to be driving it and can hardly wait until the FMCA rally in So Cal when we head out.
I have only 7200 miles on my coach, but it is a 1 1/2 years old. My question: should I have some engine service - ie COACH CARE - which is available from Cummins about 30 miles from here - or is my coach young enough it doesn't need that engine routine maintenance until its a little older.
And while asking about Cummins Coach Care - I have both the CC factory and Cummins Coach Care available very near my home. Where should I go?? CC or Cummins?

Thanks.

Tom, you should get lots of answers on this.
My opinion.... let CC work on the coach and Cummins work on the engine.
If you have not had any scheduled maintenance done on the engine in the year and a half, I would have the service done. Even the recommended service intervals usually state mileage, hours or TIME. And warrantees almost always require you to do the proper maintenance and show evidence of same.

Tom,

You need to familiarize yourself with the maintenance schedule that can be located in your chassis manual. You have already passed some suggested maintenance if you've done none since new. Those manuals can be very intimidating at first, but very important.

Hope this helps.............Steve Intrigue #10673
