Oil change etc
<smile> I'm sure nobody is surprised at the cost of RV ownership here in this group but .....
Enclosed is the bill for an oil change, cooling system service, and transmission system service. 
Spoiler alert -- $1161.91

I'm ok with it all.   The Ford Dealership has treated me well over the years.  I'd have no problem recommending them to others.  The take-home lesson to me is to change my own oil as it is the only thing I can do in my home driveway.  The other fluids are on them.

If you have the space and desire, an oil and filter change costs about $40 for synthetic oil and a high-quality oil filter.
A Fumoto valve, with a hose, allows the draining of the old oil directly into a used 5-qt oil jug, ready for the recycler.

In your climate, I would flush the brake fluid every  three years to prevent rust inside the brake system.
Flushing the ABS system requires using a pro-grade scanner to operate the ABS pump.

Didn't see the mileage. Transmission 30k miles.  For my heavy 31 IB, I do the differential every 15K. Oil is cheaper than hardware.
