Phil and All,
Thank you for the comments..
Phil, nice idea on the service intervals on everything, and we do put some of that in the current Owners Manual.... But it is a bit hard as the recommended intervals would have to be on the worst case scenario... Now that sounds rough, but we would have to say 10,000 on wheel bearings, but I don't look at mine for 25,000... Heavy loaded? Light? Small van? Larger van? Bulldust work? Mostly on the road? Mostly parked up, but in rainy area? Too many variables to give an estimate but on the way safe side of things..
Too much depends on travel mode and surface as well as size.... Wheel alignment could be good for years! And it could be knocked out by a severe rut at high speed on the way home in two weeks! Sacrificial anode, inspect it every year... Some are shot, some last two years... Brakes, again it depends on the driver, how far the brake controller is set, weight, size of van... on and on... Too many variables, and we had to give an interval it would be way to often for most, just to pick up the extremes...
You just have to learn according to your usage...
Kind regards, Bushtracker
