At the end of my current trip I will have 11,000 miles and 2 years on my 172. I'm wondering what a proper maintenance schedule might be, besides just repacking the bearings every year. I didn't see anything on this forum or r-pod nation, nor did I find anything when googling for Forest River documentation. We are always monitoring the health of the seals, keep the hitch lubed, tire inflated, lugs tightened -- those we do all the time. Is there anything special to consider in the same way my TV has a 25,000 mile recommended maintenance?

Forest River offers a general maintenance "owners manual" that they suggests applies to all travel trailers. You can locate it here.

Under care and maintenance you will find the charts containing schedules...
