Question Six Month of ownership Chassis Maintenance?

[Joe Hogan]

How many folks perform the Six Months Spartan Chassis maintenance on new chassis at six months with low mileage? Certainly understand that you want to verify all the bolts and wheels have remained fastened but with lower mileage can it wait for the annual?

I’d almost wait until the annual especially if you don’t live near a Spartan facility and your use is the same. I would imagine if something was off, you’d know it by now even with low mileage. It is really a personal choice and your comfort level waiting.

Agree with above....
Just do a slow walk around checking the serpentine belt (mine needed a change at 6 months due to a pulley issue), oil leaks, when cleaning the jacks (HWH prefers just soap and water) do a check underneath, etc, etc.
My FL location where I get mine serviced, laughs at the service intervals vs what the OTR (over the road) trucks recommend. He chuckled when I had our axle and diff fluids changed to synthetic last August with our rig at 4yrs and like 33K miles (he does OTRs at 100K)
I know this, I'm stretching our Oasis Service interval extended based on my last service. Fire box was pretty clean.... we don't boondock much...

Just remember to cover yourself for warranty claims if something bad happens. Not doing the service might cause a problem with a claim.
