I waited until my mileage got up to recommended amount on my new coach, which has been almost 2 years. Since I don't use a dealer, I go to my own private truck shop and mechanic. Just had a service with lube, oil, and filters. While in there mechanic found a hydraulic line leaking in front of the starter, looks like it connects to the power steering. He got 2 full revolutions on the fitting to tighten it. Gotta pay attention to the floor in my shop for leaks.
Also, I asked him when he was finished greasing everything if it was dry. His comment was "It has never been greased, the caps were still on the fittings"
So, any new coach owners, I would recommend a full service in the first 6 months.
